For the first time, the PWHL will play an entire season without a break for international competition. With Worlds in November, it’s a change that is set to benefit players and the league. For the first time since its inception, the PWHL will play an entire season without a break for international competition. Those interruptions have been a major source of criticism throughout the league’s first three seasons. In the inaugural 2024 season, the first pause came just over a month into the schedule, with play suspended from February 5 to 13 for the Rivalry Series between Canada and the United States. The league then took another break from March 26 to April 17 to accommodate the World Championship, held that April. In 2024-25, the league paused from December 9 to 16 for the Euro Hockey Tour, then again from February 3 to 10 for the Rivalry Series. A third and final break ran from April 3 to 25 for the World Championship, leaving just one week of regular-season games when play resumed. Last season marked the first time the Rivalry Series did not interrupt the PWHL schedule.

The Supreme Court justices laughed at a lawyer’s answer during arguments in the case Salazar v. Paramount Global, which could have consequences for digital privacy litigation. The case deals with the Video Privacy Protection Act of 1988, a law that was intended to protect consumers’ personal information. The Court has been asked in this case to consider how the law applies in a more modern, digital landscape. The Court heard arguments in the case on Wednesday. The case was brought by Michael Salazar, who argues that Paramount violated the law by disclosing the history of videos he has watched on its website 247Sports.com to Facebook without his consent, citing the 1988 law that prohibited video providers from disclosing a person’s personal identification information and viewing information without their consent. Salazar has been involved in a similar case with the NBA. Paramount, however, has argued that Salazar does not qualify as a protected consumer because he subscribed to a newsletter, rather than to a video service specifically.... Paul Clement, an attorney for Paramount Global, provided several hypotheticals.

LIV Golf is taking issue with the DP World Tour’s plans to effectively ban its members in 2027. “We’re continuing to monitor this situation very closely and we’re quite concerned by it frankly,” Gibson Dunn attorney Rob Fitzgerald, whose firm is representing LIV in its Chapter 11 bankruptcy case in New Jersey, said during a court hearing on Wednesday. “We’re reserving all rights and remedies in respect to these statements that are made.”

Surprises and perfect scores shape the opening rounds of the 2026 World Championships U7–U17With an outstanding turnout of 721 players representing 82 countries, the 2026 FIDE World Championships U7–U17 got underway on October 13 in the coastal town of Roquetas de Mar, in the province of Almería, southern Spain. Running until October 21, the event is jointly organized by the International Chess Federation (FIDE) and the Spanish Chess Federation and is being held at the Evenia Zoraida Beach Resort. The competition features 12 age categories: Under 7, Under 9, Under 11, Under 13, Under 15 and Under 17, with separate Open and Girls sections in each age group. Many national delegations are represented across all six age groups, highlighting the breadth of participation at this year’s championships. Kazakhstan, for example, has players competing in every age category, underlining the importance of the event as a platform for developing young chess talent. As is customary in tournaments of this kind, the championships follow an 11-round Swiss system.

LIV Golf has accused the DP World Tour of a "clear attempt to interfere" with its restructuring process, after the European tour said it would refuse membership to anyone playing on the breakaway circuit next season. During a court hearing on Wednesday, the attorney representing LIV said that the organisation was "quite concerned" by the stance taken by the rival DP World Tour. Rob Fitzgerald of Gibson Dunn, the attorney representing LIV, also said that the organisation would know by the end of the month if it could continue in a 'LIV 2.0' guise. "We're continuing to monitor this situation very closely and we're quite concerned by it frankly," said Fitzgerald of the DP World Tour's position. "The timing in particular strikes us as a clear attempt to interfere with our process with our players and potentially our reorganisation writ large. "It also raises a lot of the same anti-competitive concerns that LIV has expressed previously regarding the way competing leagues have sought to box out and punish market participants, namely these players, from participating in LIV and really only LIV.
