Reactions to the Confederation of African Football's decision to move the Africa Cup of Nations to every four years after 2028 have been mixed, with coaches decrying loss of autonomy amid pressure from European clubs and FIFA, while some see upsides. An annual African Nations League will launch in 2029 to fill the biennial gap.
The National Hockey League has changed the start time of the Detroit Red Wings' game at the Nashville Predators on March 2, 2026, to 1 p.m. CT, allowing for prime-time viewing across Europe at 8 p.m. CET. This adjustment follows the 2025 NHL Global Series in Sweden and aims to build on excitement from the upcoming Olympic Winter Games. The move highlights international stars from both teams while offering unique fan experiences in Nashville.
