World Athletics Ultimate Championship has been an exhilarating ride so far and we turn the bend for one last lap on Sunday.

The brand-new season-ending event, which brings together the best athletes from around the globe, adds a little glitz and glamour to the track and field events we all know and love.

Though Saturday didn't bring a British winner as hoped – with Keely Hodgkinson and Georgia Hunter-Bell falling just short – the action in Budapest has certainly not disappointed.

Amy Hunt (women's 200m) and Josh Kerr (men's 1500m) are the big hopes for Team GB on Sunday's schedule, which also includes the 400m hurdles, 4x400m mixed relay, men's high jump and women's 5000m.

It has been a huge summer of athletics but the season is not done just yet – and UK viewers can dig their teeth into a busy weekend of action.

Radio Times brings you the ultimate TV guide to watching the World Athletics Ultimate Championship 2026, including channel details, live stream information and more.
