Women's sport is set to take centre stage this summer with a stellar line-up of major events.

The Women's Euros, Women's Rugby World Cup and World Athletics Championships will be live across the BBC alongside Wimbledon, The Hundred cricket tournament and the tennis at Queen's, where women will compete for the first time in more than 50 years.

To mark the start of a special sporting summer, BBC Sport is launching 'Names Will Be Made', a campaign that will champion sportswomen as we tell stories of resilience, ion and triumph.

Alex Kay-Jelski, director of BBC Sport, said: "The BBC has a strong legacy in championing women's sport and telling their stories to audiences.

"No sidelines. No second billing. This summer is packed with top-tier women's competitions."

Five sporting events to get excited about in 2025

Queen's (9-15 June): Tennis kick-starts BBC Sport's summer schedule. For the first time in more than 50 years women are competing at the historic Queen's Club in London. The grass court season continues throughout June and July with Nottingham, Eastbourne and Wimbledon, all live across the BBC.

Women's Euros (2-27 July): All eyes will be on the Lionesses as they set out to retain their title as European champions in Switzerland from 2 July. Wales have also qualified for the Women's Euros, their first ever major tournament. Follow the tournament live across the BBC.
