What channel is Brewers vs. Reds on today? Time, TV schedule, live stream to watch MLB Friday Night Baseball originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The last two weeks have been a bit of a mixed bag for the Brewers, but Milwaukee remains atop the majors entering a weekend series against the Reds.
The Brewers have the best record in MLB and earlier this week became the first team to reach 90 wins this year in the midst of a sweep of the Cubs. They still need to worry about holding off the Dodgers for the best record in the National League, but the weekend set against Cincinnati is a good chance to expand that cushion.
The Reds are last in the NL Central, though they have played better this year than most of the other bottom-dwellers around the majors. They even took two of three from the Brewers at Great American Ball Park last weekend and should be relatively happy to see Milwaukee again after getting swept by the Dodgers in Los Angeles.
Who will open the weekend series with a win? Here's everything you need to know to watch.

Saoirse Ronan made her first return to the red carpet since giving birth to her first child, attending the Orizzonti Corti Fuori Concorso E Concorso screening during the Venice Film Festival at Sala Giardino this evening.

It was an understated return, with the Irish actress wearing a navy-blue Louis Vuitton dress that kept the focus on its clean silhouette. The silver zip running along the side was the only real point of detail.
Considering this was her first red carpet appearance in some time, I wasn't expecting Saoirse to make a dramatic comeback. This felt more in keeping with her style: simple, unfussy and confident enough to let the cut do the work. I also like that the zip gives the dress some edge.
Even the jewellery followed the same approach. Saoirse wore a Les Honneurs earring and Tumbler ear cuff in white gold and diamonds from Louis Vuitton's High Jewelry collection, which added just enough sparkle without changing the mood of the look.

The Venice Film Festival is back and high fashion has taken over the Lido. As the 83rd edition continues, the canals are filled with custom couture, sharp tailoring, and standard-setting off-duty style.
The prestigious festival kicked off with a suitably glamorous opening ceremony on Wednesday, where Laura Dern presented George Clooney with the Lifetime Achievement award, recognising his enduring contribution to cinema. The actor landed in Venice alongside his wife Amal, leading a star-studded guest list that includes Kendall Jenner, Pamela Anderson, and Sydney Sweeney.
From black-tie premieres at the Palazzo del Cinema to glitzy dinners, and low-key water taxi arrivals, here are all of the best dressed guests and must-see looks from Venice 2026.

Newlywed Georgina Rodríguez is at the 2026 Venice Film Festival following her wedding to long-time partner Cristiano Ronaldo, attending as the face of Italian luxury jeweller Pasquale Bruni. Across three appearances, her style has taken a noticeably different direction from the sultry glamour we have come to expect.

As we know, underwear is outerwear at this festival, so you won't be surprised to see the Argentine-Spanish model draping her Intimissimi brown silk shirt over the brand's Pretty Flowers Sofia balconette bra.
She paired them with Giambattista Valli high-waisted white jeans, and I can't help thinking the chocolate brown and white palette was inspired by her Hermès Himalayan Birkin.

Everyone is excited for the start of the 2026 college football season until their team loses. While the UCLA Bruins are hoping to avoid that fate this weekend versus Cal. UCLA saw a conference rival begin the season in humiliating fashion.
Rutgers kicked off on Thursday versus UMass and the Minutemen pulled off a 37-21 road win at SHI Stadium. Rutgers came into the season looking like a Big Ten Conference bottom-dweller and that was all but confirmed with a blowout loss to UMass.
The loss to UMass is different from your run-of-the-mill upset. The Minutemen went winless in 2025 and were four touchdown underdogs against Rutgers.
Last season Rutgers went 5-7, winning two more games than UCLA, but things are looking worse to begin 2026 for the Scarlet Knights. USA TODAY writer Matthew Glenesk discussed buyout options for Rutgers' head coach Greg Schiano after the humiliating start to the season.
"Greg Schiano is the winningest coach in Rutgers football history. But that distinction can't sugarcoat the disaster Thursday night was as the Scarlet Knights — a 29.5-point favorite — lost at home to UMass," Glenesk said. "If the school was to make a change, Schiano is owed 76.875% of his remaining base salary when he is fired. If he is let go at the end of November, that number would be approximately $18.5 million, per documents obtained by USA TODAY Sports."

There's a list of celebrities supporting Mark Ruffalo after the "Avengers" star's latest anti-Israel bombast.
Gina Carano might have settled for just one A-list defender. Or even a D-list dweller.
Ruffalo's chronic anti-Israel rhetoric finally caught up with the 58-year-old actor. Several Jewish groups chastised his recent anti-Paramount merger rhetoric wrapped in what some called antisemitic tropes.
"Larry Ellison will own most of 'Para Bros.' Larry is a classic Oligarch. They are crushing workers and consolidating the wealth of the world for their own power and concentrated dominance."

Claire Foy attended the premiere of her upcoming film, Ink, which opens the 2026 Venice Film Festival this evening.
Daniele Venturelli/WireImage
After wearing Bottega Veneta for both her arrival and this morning's photocall, we had a feeling Claire would stay with the house for the premiere. And she did, wearing a red Bottega Veneta gown with Swarovski jewellery.
Let's start with the positives. I love the colour. Red was a bold choice for the opening night of the festival, and I also like the idea behind the knotted detail at the waist, which should have defined the silhouette. But the execution really lets this down.
Dare I say, it looks a little sloppy. This would have worked better had the bodice been more fitted through the waist, as the excess fabric bunching above the knot makes the dress look like two separate pieces.

Aryna Sabalenka put her incredible athletic physique on full display as she swapped the tennis court for a glamorous night out in New York City.
The 28-year-old tennis champion showcased her seriously toned legs in a thigh-skimming bubblegum pink mini dress as she celebrated being named Moroccanoil's new global ambassador at Le Jardin Sur Madison on August 27.
The playful mini featured a high neckline, capped sleeves and artfully ruched detailing around the hips, finishing high above the knee to reveal the powerful legs that have helped make Aryna one of the most formidable players in women's tennis.

Everton have been drawn against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the third round of the Carabao Cup for the second consecutive year. This came after beating Preston North End in a 4-0 jaunt earlier tonight. Wolves beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 to progress to the clash against the Blues.
Last season the Blues featured a weakened side against bottom dwellers Wolves who were yet to win a game at the time, but then slipped to a 2-0 defeat away from home to exit the tournament they are yet to win.
Carabao Cup Round Three fixtures will take place across two weeks (beginning 7th and 14th September), with fixtures in the Champions League (week beginning 7th September) and Europa League (week beginning 14th September) also scheduled during this period. The additional dates required in the calendar for European competitions are as a result of an increased number of games for the season, the same as last year.
The eight teams competing in European competitions this season will be drawn separately in a pre-draw to keep them apart from the rest of the third round teams tonight. Since UEFA competitions fixtures cannot be rescheduled, additional rules for the third round of the Carabao Cup had been introduced for the draw tonight. Clubs taking part in the Champions League or Europa League cannot be drawn against each other in the Carabao Cup third round.
The Blues have never won this competition in their 141-year history, but have been beaten finalists twice, against Aston Villa in 1977 and to Liverpool in 1984. Their run in the tournament last season lasted until the Third Round when they lost at home to Southampton in a penalty shootout, with newest signing Tyler Dibling a second half substitute in that game.

An Indian jewellery brand has removed their new advertisement for the upcoming festival of Rakshabandhan, also known as Rakhi, after backlash over the outfit worn by the female lead.
The ad featured popular Bollywood actor Kriti Sanon celebrating the Hindu festival in which sisters tie a thread called Rakhi over their brothers' wrists.
Sanon, who is seen in a cropped top, skirt and a drape, addressed her critics on Tuesday night saying "culture and traditions are in a woman's heart, not in her neckline!"
The row started earlier on Tuesday after actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut called the ad "intentionally creepy" and asked why someone would tie a Rakhi dressed in a bikini.
In her comments posted on social media, Ranaut did not name Sanon, but appeared to be referring to the actor.

There is a lot to take away from participating in team sports beyond a trophy or medal at the end of a competition.
So, at Delaware Online High School Sports Media Days Aug. 11-12 at Woodbridge High and Abessinio Stadium, we asked the top field hockey and girls volleyball players in the state to share the biggest lessons they have learned so far from their high school athletic careers.
"Figuring out how to communicate and get your point across as a leader to all different types of people," said Newark Charter's Victoria Weller. "How they learn best. How they take criticism best. Figuring out how to accomplish a team goal."
"The best lesson I've learned from playing team sports is how to work with everyone and understand how to meet people where they are," said Sussex Central's Julianne Bounds. "Bring people up when they need to be brought up and then also be that encouragement for people."
More responses to that prompt and other questions posed at media days can be found in the videos in this story.

The A's dropped their first game in Kansas City last night, losing 9-5 and dropping the club to 49-76, tied with the Angels for the worst record in the sport. If the club ever needed a win, tonight's the night.
Before the game the A's made a minor move for some extra bullpen depth, adding the recently-claimed Taylor Rashi to the active roster:
The right-hander has very minimal big league experience, with 10 games last year and three this season. The former Giants and Diamondbacks farmhand has generally put up good numbers in the minors, including a 2.56 ERA in 24 appearances this year. With the state of the bullpen Rashi is as good as any reliever to give a shot and see if the A's can catch lightning in a bottle.
To make room on the roster right-hander Mason Barnett was optioned to Triple-A. He was in the rotation the past couple turns but he struggled in his chances and will now head back to the minors and continue to work on honing his craft. The A's will need to make a move for a new starter sometime later this week.
It'll be right-hander Jack Perkins getting the ball this evening for his 12th start this year. It hasn't been an easy year for the rookie, who began in the bullpen before being asked to take on a starter's role halfway through the year. The results have been unexpected as he's struggled to an 8.17 ERA during his starting ****** ignments so far. He's not exactly trending in the right direction either as he's gotten smacked for at least five runs in his past three starts. Hopefully he'll be able to turn things around tonight in Kansas City against a fellow bottom-dweller in the Royals, though last night should warn everyone that they still got some big bats in that lineup of theirs.

Back to league business! Following the international break, FC Bayern Women are back in FLYERALARM Women's Bundesliga action this weekend with the rearranged fixture away to bottom-of-the-table 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam on Saturday 25 February. Kick-off at the Karl-Liebknecht Stadion is at 13:00 CET. From the state of play to the team news, our preview has all the info.
The match against Postdam was supposed to take place at the start of February, but a frozen pitch led to the game being postponed at short notice. After an international break of almost two and a half weeks, head coach Alexander Straus has had just two days to prepare his side for the meeting with the cellar dwellers. Nevertheless, Straus' charges travel to Brandenburg with momentum after the 2-1 victory over fellow **** le challengers Eintracht Frankfurt in the opening match of the second half of the season, their sixth straight win in the league.
Turbine Potsdam's record currently reads nine defeats and one draw. Having finished fourth last term and narrowly missed out on qualification for the Champions League, they face the threat of relegation to the second tier this year for the first time since 1994. Just before the original date for the meeting with Bayern, interim coach Sven Weigang stepped down, with previous **** istant coach Dirk Heinrichs taking charge of the team for the coming weeks. Their first two fixtures of the year have both been called off, meaning this is Potsdam's first competitive game since early December.
These two sides have come up against each other 44 times in the Women's Bundesliga, making it one of the most-played fixtures in the league. The stats are very close, with 19 wins for FCB, 18 for Potsdam and seven draws. The Brandenburg outfit haven't beaten Bayern since 2016, though, and last managed a draw in December 2021.
Along with long-term absentees Giulia Gwinn (cruciate ligament tear) and Jovana **** janović (muscle strain), Strauss is without the services of Sydney Lohmann, who returned home from international duty early due to a muscular problem. Goalkeeper Laura Benkarth will also not travel to Potsdam because of illness.

Banking on hyper-efficiency is almost always a thin bet.
Sometimes it works. Sometimes you find an undervalued player in the middle of final rounds of your various fantasy drafts who turns limited opportunity into a an embarrassment of statistical riches (almost) every Sunday. That's nice. It'll make you feel like a god dang genius too. It's also, to reiterate, not a great bet.
This is a long and overwrought way of saying a team's offensive snap volume matters. Sometimes, if that play volume is extremely high or extremely low, it matters a lot, probably more than you would like because maybe you see fantasy football as a game based entirely on identifying talent. That's part of it. But ours is a game within a game; offensive environment — including the numbers of snaps and drop backs and rushes a team has every week — drives the opportunity that makes or breaks a player's season. My longtime friend and excellent fantasy ******* yst Patrick Thorman has been singing this song since the zoomers were in diapers. You'll read Pat's stuff if you know what's good for you.

Below is a quick look at every teams' 2025 offensive snaps totals. The league leaders benefited from what amounts to an extra two games worth of offensive plays compared to the bottom dwellers. That sort of thing matters quite a bit in fantasy football.

Malaysia's Sultan Abdullah and former actress Julia Rais' daughter Princess Ilyana of Malaysia, 29, married British racing driver Christopher Froggatt, 32, over the weekend.
The couple gathered their friends and family in Kuala Lumpur, where the bride walked down the aisle in a heavily embroidered column wedding dress by Malaysian designer Radzuan Radziwill. Features included long sleeves, puff shoulders and an embellished skirt, which tied in with Ilyana's glittering bridal jewellery.
As well as an heirloom necklace that fell in the same V-neck as her dress, the bride wore a sentimental tiara that had been in the family for generations – but she opted for the newly-tweaked version.
According to the Royal Watcher, the Queen Azizah Diamond Tiara was originally acquired from the Belgian jeweller Wolfers in Brussels, but it has been loaned to brides such as Tengku Nurul Kamalia for her 2008 wedding to Dato Ahmad Najmi and Puteri Afzan Shakira when she married Khairul Fahmy in 2015.
Three years later, the original design underwent a makeover for the Sultan's daughter Tengku Puteri Iman Afzan's wedding to Tengku Dato Sri Abu Bakar Ahmad in 2018, with three diamond stars added to the middle section for a more striking overall appearance.

Queen Mary commissioned the lover's knot in 1913 as a replica of her grandmother Princess Augusta of Hesse-Kassel's tiara
It was passed down to Queen Elizabeth, later loaned to Princess Diana and is now a favorite of Kate Middleton
The tiara features diamonds, baroque pearls, and designer Garrard's signature Sovereign motif
The royal family has no shortage of dazzling jewels in their collection, including an array of crowns and tiaras worn by Queen Elizabeth.
Among the mix of family jewels is the Lover's Knot Tiara, which was originally commissioned by Queen Mary in the early 1900s as a replica of her grandmother Princess Augusta of Hesse-Kassel's tiara. The dazzling tiara was designed by luxury jeweler Garrard, the former Crown Jeweller. The headpiece features a combination of diamonds and baroque pearls and invokes the designer's signature Sovereign motif.

The Texas Rangers scored four runs while the Anaheim Angels scored one run in ten innings.
Despite the fact that the Angels are among the worst teams in baseball, and indeed the team currently with the worst record in the American League, the Rangers came into tonight's game winless at Angel Stadium in 2026 after getting swept by their divisional rivals up the road from Disneyland back in late May.
The Rangers only fared marginally better when last these two teams met in Arlington around a month ago with Texas claiming two of three against the Angels despite suffering a 13-1 loss to Anaheim in the middle game of the series, a game started by MacKenzie Gore.
Gore was on the hill tonight for the Rangers as they tried to inch closer to a positive record against the division's basement dwellers. Two batters into the game and it was already 1-0 Angels as Mike Trout hit his 785th career home run against Texas.
Ultimately though, that first inning solo home run amounted to the Gore Inning (TM) as Gore settled in and didn't allow another run through his 5 1/3 innings of work. The Angels did make him work a little as it took him 103 pitches to get to one out in the sixth before hitting the showers, but he finished allowing just the one run on four hits and a couple of walks with nine strikeouts.

Isla Fisher looked incredible as she slipped into a plunging black swimsuit for a sun-soaked day by the pool.
The Confessions of a Shopaholic star, who celebrated her 50th birthday earlier this year, showed off her toned physique in the chic one-piece as she relaxed on a lounger with friends.
Sharing a series of images from the outing on Instagram, Isla appeared in high spirits as she sat cross-legged beside the pool, with her red hair swept into a relaxed updo.

Princess Leonor looked effortlessly elegant as she joined Queen LetiziaKing Felipe, Queen Sofía and her younger sister, Infanta Sofía, for a relaxed family dinner in Mallorca on Friday evening.
The Spanish heir to the throne, 20, stepped out for the annual summer gathering at Mia restaurant in Palma, proving once again why she has become one of Europe's most-watched young royals.
Leonor embraced Mediterranean glamour in a flowing halterneck maxi dress featuring an intricate blue, turquoise and pink print. She paired the look with navy espadrille wedges, a vibrant pink clutch bag and silver statement bracelets, while wearing her glossy brunette hair loose in soft waves.

UCLA football head coach Bob Chesney was put in rarified air on Saturday during the start of UCLA's training camp, getting compared to legendary Indiana coach Curt Cignetti.
UCLA and Indiana are both in the Big Ten, but they are in two vastly different arcs in their programs.
Indiana has been a surface dweller in the conference for a long time, with the school and state known more for their basketball than football exploits.
However, they hired head coach Curt Cignetti two years ago, and in one year, he had them get a winning season and the next, they were the National Champions.

Because Florence Pugh is one of Marvel's biggest current stars, and her character, Yelena Belova, plays a role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, it wasn't much of a surprise to see her on the red carpet for the London premiere.

The British actress has been on an exceptional run of late, so I was delighted to see that continue in this Tamara Ralph Spring 2026 Couture dress.
Remember when I used to cry tears of frustration over Florence's red-carpet choices? Tonight, they were tears of joy as she glided onto the red carpet in this silver bugle-bead fringe gown with its dramatic winged neckline. I'll admit my mind initially wandered to Harris Reed, but Tamara Ralph's execution has a lighter, more fluid elegance, less theatrical feel.
A gown embellished with silver crystal Xilions hardly called for additional jewellery, yet her Bvlgari pieces, particularly the emerald earrings and matching ring, added another layer of glamour.

MADRID, July 23 (Reuters) - Spanish former Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said on Thursday that €1.3 million ($1.5 million) of jewellery seized by ‌police as part of an investigation was a personal gift he ‌received years ago and was never intended for financial gain.
Zapatero, who was prime minister from 2004 to 2011 and remains an influential figure in the governing Socialist Party, is under investigation over alleged influence-peddling, accusations he denies. The case is one of a series of corruption scandals affecting the party and piling political pressure on Prime ‌Minister Pedro Sanchez's government.
In his ⁠first interview since being placed under investigation two months ago, Zapatero told Spanish public broadcaster TVE that the jewels found ⁠during a search of his office were "a personal courtesy gift" that had been stored for years with other family valuables.
The jewels were unrelated to his political activities and their origin and handling would be fully explained before a judge, he said. ‌He rejected suggestions they reflected any attempt at personal enrichment.
Investigating Judge Jose Luis Calama opened a separate probe into the jewellery, whose origin remains undocumented, according to investigators. An auction house provisionally valued them at about €1.3 million ($1.5 million), though Zapatero disputes that estimate.

NEW DELHI, July 15 (Reuters) - India and Britain's trade pact took effect on Wednesday, cutting tariffs on thousands of goods and expanding market access for services firms and ‌professionals in both countries.
The India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement gives Indian exporters duty-free access to most ‌British tariff lines, benefiting sectors such as textiles, leather, footwear, marine products, gems and jewellery, and processed foods.
Britain, meanwhile, gains greater access to one of the world's fastest-growing major economies through phased tariff cuts and quotas for sectors such as automobiles and silver, as well as openings in procurement, financial services, education, insurance and professional services.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a post on X that the trade pact and accompanying social security agreement would deepen economic ties and give "fresh momentum" to India's farmers, entrepreneurs ‌and small businesses.

Next up in the opponent preview series is Rutgers' second game of the season against Boston College. This will be a very intriguing game for the Scarlet Knights for several reasons. The game will be the Eagles' annual Red Bandanna game in honor of BC alum and hero Welles Crowther and will also take place on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Rutgers also lost 37 alumni in the tragic attacks at the World Trade Center and has honored them in a previous game that took place on the anniversary of 9/11 when they defeated Syracuse 17-7 in 2021.
In addition to that, this will be Rutgers' first road game of the season, and it will be the most intriguing nonconference matchup. The Knights have been very solid against ACC competition over the past few seasons, including a 22-21 come-from-behind victory the last time they visited Chestnut Hill, opening the 2022 season.
Rutgers will suit up a former Boston College quarterback this year, as Dylan Lonergan, a former Alabama and BC signal-caller, transferred to the Knights this offseason. Whether he will take the field against his former team is to be decided, as AJ Surace and Lonergan are in a quarterback battle that is expected to last through training camp.
With that being said, let us shift our attention to the Boston College Eagles!
There is nowhere to go but up for Boston College, as the Eagles very well have been the worst Power Four team in all of college football last year with a 2-10 record. After routing FCS Fordham 66-10, things turned ugly quickly for BC, as they fell to Big Ten bottom-dweller Michigan State in what was a thrilling 42-40 victory for the Spartans in East Lansing.

Maybe the New York Jets should've tried drafting Kylian Mbappe one of these years.
Because right now, the AFC East bottom dwellers are being made to look quite bad by a combined stat that involves the New England Patriots as well as France's World Cup superstar Mbappe.
The key here is that Mbappe and France have played twice at the Pats' stadium during the World Cup.
During the group stage, they defeated Norway.

Michelle Obama took to the stage at the 2026 ESSENCE Festival of Culture in New Orleans for a live conversation with Keke Palmer celebrating the launch of IMO: The Look, her new podcast series exploring personal style, identity and self-expression.
And I have to say, I'm loving this chapter of Michelle. Whether she's promoting a new project, appearing at cultural events or simply stepping back into the spotlight more often, every appearance feels like a reminder of why she remains one of the most admired women in the world. She continues to inspire through her words, her confidence and, of course, her fashion.
For the occasion, she wore a Proenza Schouler Fall 2026 dress styled by Thomas Christos Kikis, our favourite stylist, who has been behind so many of Gabrielle Union's standout fashion moments.
The strength of this Proenza Schouler dress lies in the contrast. The clean, sleeveless bodice provides a sleek foundation, while the asymmetric skirt panel, trimmed with fringe and scattered embellishments, gives the dress its identity. Without it, this would have been a beautifully cut black dress. With it, the look has personality,
Black pumps, delicate jewellery and Michelle's confidence did the rest. This is one of those looks that feels good on the runway, but finds its true purpose on the right woman. Michelle gave it the presence it needed.

Anya Taylor-Joy attended a photocall for the launch of Lucky at Raffles London at The OWO this afternoon.
I know some of you aren't fans of these lingerie-inspired looks from the Tom Ford Spring 2026 collection, but there are people walking around London today wearing a lot less. Trust me, it really is that hot.
Anya wore a pale blue and black lace dress from the collection, having previously chosen the longer black version of the design for the Marrakech International Film Festival closing ceremony back in December. I actually like this shorter interpretation. It feels fresh, light and perfectly suited to today's soaring temperatures.
We're used to seeing Anya bring a sense of storytelling to the red carpet, but today was all about dressing for the heatwave, and she got it exactly right.
Black sandals and Tiffany & Co. jewellery and black sandals completed her look.
