The absence of Camp Nou and the adventures of the high-line remain an issue for Barcelona as the Catalan side lost 2-1 to a depleted PSG. The Champions League defending champion was not even at its strongest and yet, Luis Enrique's side came from behind and delivered a big victory on the road at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.

The French side entered the game at the top of Ligue 1 with five wins from its first six matches but it was missing many key players including Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembélé, Marquinhos, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Désiré Doué due to injuries. Barcelona meanwhile is also leading its respective league, topping La Liga with six wins and a draw from the first seven games but again, Hansi Flick is also dealing with absences including goalkeeper Joan García and Fermín Lopez. Though clearly, it was the away side with deeper injury worries. PSG had their captain and first-choice front three missing and regardless, it still won.

But the Parisians, with a tremendous squad filled with extremely talented young academy graduates, played very well and came back from behind against the Blaugrana after Ferran Torres opened the scoring. Let's also not forget that this is a very well coached side where discipline and leadership was still present thanks to Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes and Willian Pacho — all key players as part of PSG's defensive shape.

On the other side, that's a lesson Barcelona should learn from Wednesday's opponent as Flick's high line is such a dangerous, often vulnerable game to play, especially against this PSG side which has so much pace and precision, even without the aforementioned starters. And that's how Gonçalo Ramos took full advantage for the visitors.

If Barcelona wants to win the Champions League, there's a lot to figure out and Flick should perhaps be more conservative without the ball. As far as PSG is concerned, this was a fantastic, resilient game from their B-team (at least from an offensive standpoint).

On Wednesday, Monaco was able to eke out a draw with Manchester City, but once again, it was Erling Haaland who impressed. The Norwegian striker scored two goals, making it an astonishing 52 goals in 50 Champions League fixtures. It is a remarkable achievement and one that brings even more amazing statistics as Haaaland alone has now outscored nine teams in the competition in their first 50 matches, per Opta Joe. Amazingly, at 25 years old, he can still get even better, but there is no doubt in my mind that as purely a goal scorer, we have ever seen anything like him in the modern game.

Haaland is fast, incredibly smart and his leap is beyond comprehension. He can score in any way shape or form, but his uncanny ability to move before the pass happens is what separates him from anyone else. He's a jaguar in the penalty area, ready to hunt and attack at any given opportunity. In the first half against Monaco, for example, he had only seven touches. That's all he needed to score a brace in the first forty five minutes.

Man City ended up drawing 2-2 against Monaco, but as far as Haaland is concerned, the sky remains the limit.

Galatasaray exposes Liverpool's flaws

It was a historic Tuesday evening for the Turkish side, which won 1-0 thanks to Victor Osimhen's penalty as the hosts earned their first home win in the Champions League for the first time in seven years. The overwhelming support of their fans under their proverbial fire-pit stadium acted as the overwhelmingly powerful 12th man and Galatasaray used this energy with full force.

It also gave Liverpool its second straight loss, which is the second time that's happened under Arne Slot but alarmingly, it once again showed the flaws of their defensive shape. Slot opted for Dominik Szoboszlai as right back and Jeremie Frimpoing as right wing and straight away, Baris Alper Yilmaz made them pay, causing havoc on multiple occasions, including the penalty that was given. It's not to say that Liverpool didn't have its own chances and indeed, missed a lot of them, but ultimately the loss in Istanbul — just like the loss to Palace and some previous performances — once again showcased that Slot needs to drastically improve his team's defensive discipline.

Last season, in its opening 10 matches, it kept six clean sheets. This campaign? Liverpool has only two. Individually, Ibrahima Konate does not look like the same player he was last season and others like Milos Kerkez have failed to adapt.

From an attacking perspective, there are also other issues as Florian Wirtz has yet to earn a goal or assist in the eight matches he has played in. In addition, Alexander Isak and Mohamed Salah have not had a great start and what's worse, Hugo Ekitike had to come off against Galatasaray in the 68th minute whilst Alisson also suffered an injury.

Look, it's not to say that we're in alarmist territory. Liverpool remains top of the Premier League table and it's still too early to decipher anything from two matches in the Champions League. But I will say that Slot's Liverpool has yet to do what it did almost immediately last season, which is find defensive solidity and attacking balance. There's much to work on, for sure.

The Big 12 conference is heading across the pond for American football in 2026.

The conference announced on Wednesday, Oct. 1 that Arizona State and Kansas will compete in the first-ever Union Jack Classic at historic Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday, Sept. 19, 2026 as part of their Big 12 conference schedule.

"I'm thrilled that Big 12 football will be heading to London for the first-ever college football game at Wembley Stadium," Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark said in a statement. "I've often said my goal is for the Big 12 to be the most globally relevant conference in college athletics. Expanding our international presence will elevate our brand, create new opportunities for student-athletes, and open the door to meaningful commercial growth for the league."

REQUIRED READING: College football best and worst after first month. Our report card grades.

Per the Big 12's news release, the Week 3 game next season between the Sun Devils and Jayhawks will be counted as a home game for Kansas, which recently unveiled its newly renovated David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium following a renovation that cost well near of $450 million.

It will also be the second straight season that the Big 12 will play in an international game, as Iowa State and Kansas State competed in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic in Dublin back in August.

"This is the perfect moment in time for Kansas Football to blaze an uncharted trail to historic Wembley Stadium in London," Kansas athletic director Travis Goff in a statement. "This opportunity is reflective of the growth and trajectory of our football program and the entire University, and will provide our fans and student-athletes an unprecedented experience."

Wembley Stadium is no stranger to hosting American footbal, as it has hosted a plethora of NFL games over the years, including this Oct. 5's matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns. Next year's game between Arizona State and Kansas, however, will be the first college football game played at the stadium that hosted Queen in 1985 for Live Aid.

"The Big 12 is leading the charge to take college football global, and we're proud to be part of it," Arizona State athletic director Graham Rossini said in a statement. "College sports are about providing our student-athletes with life-changing experiences, and playing in the Union Jack Classic at Wembley Stadium will be an incredible one. With nearly 18,000 international students from 160 countries, ASU already thrives on a global stage, and we can't wait to showcase Sun Devil Football and Arizona State University to fans across Europe."

Arizona State beat Kansas 35-31 in the first-ever meeting between both programs last season at home in Tempe, Arizona on a last-second touchdown pass from Sun Devils quarterback Sam Levitt to wide receiver Jordyn Tyson with 16 seconds remaining.

Just two years after *Riverdale* came to its dramatic conclusion, Archie Andrews is plotting his return to television screens once again — and, this time around, things are about to get a whole lot spookier. **

Disney+ is currently developing a new horror series titled *Afterlife With Archie, *has learned. Deadline was the first to report the news.

The hour-long drama, which has received a script-to-series commitment, is based on Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Francesco Francavilla ultra-popular comic book series of the same name and will follow its titular redheaded high schooler as he faces off against a new wave of supernatural forces. **

And it might just be love at first bite. A logline for the series reveals that *Afterlife With Archie* "re-imagines the beloved town of Riverdale as an apocalyptic, nightmare-fueled hellscape overrun with flesh-eating zombies."

Aguirre-Sacasa, who also works as chief creative officer for Archie Comics, is set to serve as both a writer and executive producer on *Afterlife With Archie* alongside fellow executive producers Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman of Berlanti Productions; Jon Goldwater of Archie Comics Studios; and Jimmy Gibbons of Muckle Man Productions.

The project will see Aguirre-Sacasa's Muckle Man Productions and Greg Berlanti's Berlanti Productions, which both have deals with Warner Bros. Television, team up once again after previously joining forces on *Riverdale* and its Netflix spinoff series, *The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina*.**

MPTF NextGen Summer Party is sponsored by Delta Air Lines, Waymo, CNB, Lilac Grove Entertainment and FECU.; KJ Apa visits SiriusXM Studios on August 13, 2025 in New York City.

However, it is currently unclear if any of the *Riverdale* cast— including KJ Apa, who played Archie — will be reprising their roles in the forthcoming supernatural series.

Released in 2017, *Riverdale* sought to put a darker spin on the typically bubbly world of Archie Comics. Over the course of its wildly wonderful seven seasons, the CW series saw its cast solve murders, face off against cults, go to prison, fight bears, go back in time, and gain superpowers — and, *somehow*, that's just the tip of the iceberg.

A spinoff to the highly-popular series centering around everyone's favorite teenage witch, Sabrina Spellman (Kiernan Shipka), titled *The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,* was later released in 2018. The Netflix series ran for two seasons before ultimately coming to an end in 2020.

This isn't the Riverdale gang's only upcoming comeback. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are currently developing a live-action Archie Comics movie from screenwriter Tom King.

NFL teams are officially turning their attention to Week 5, and there's good news in Washington.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday morning that franchise quarterback Jayden Daniels has been cleared to practice in full. Marcus Mariota went 1-1 in Daniels' stead, beating the Las Vegas Raiders his first start but losing to the Atlanta Falcons last week.

Daniels has been battling a knee sprain suffered in Week 2's loss at the Green Bay Packers, and he wore a brace on Wednesday. "I plan on going out there Sunday," Daniels said.

The San Francisco 49ers, meanwhile, are in a more dire spot. Quarterback Brock Purdy and wide receivers Jauan Jennings, Ricky Pearsall and Jordan Watkins were all ruled out for Thursday against the Los Angeles Rams, a critical NFC West road game.

[Yahoo Sports TV is here! Watch live shows and highlights 24/7]

Lamar Jackson, meanwhile, didn't practice Wednesday for the Baltimore Ravens with his hamstring injury, and his status for Sunday is in doubt. Jackson left last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs with the injury, and if he can't go, Cooper Rush will make the start. Head coach John Harbaugh characterized Jackson, like all Ravens injured players, as day to day.

And the Cleveland Browns are making a big move at quarterback, with third-round rookie Dillon Gabriel taking over the starting job from veteran Joe Flacco. Gabriel's first game will be in London Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, which isn't an ideal defense to face in any week, let alone your first NFL start. But Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said the decision was his.

"[Gabriel] has handled everything well since he's been on campus here. So just gonna have to support the young man," Stefanski said Wednesday.

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is still battling a calf issue.

"The calf needs more treatment. The calf needs more time," Panthers head coach Dave Canales said Wednesday, noting that the team is taking it "day-to-day" with Hubbard.

Hubbard got a rest day Wednesday, Canales said. Hubbard carried the ball 10 times for 49 yards during a Week 4 blowout loss to the New England Patriots.

"He was able to play and still played at a high level, the way that we expected him to play, and ran the ball hard all the way through it. But coming out of it, we just didn't feel like he wasn't in a better spot coming out of the game than he was the week before. So we're going to treat that day-to-day."

Jane Fonda is following in her Hollywood icon father's footsteps to defend the First Amendment.

The 87-year-old actress and longtime activist has enlisted over 550 of her superstar peers to relaunch the Committee for the First Amendment at a time she calls "the most frightening moment of my life."

"I'm 87 years old. I've seen war, repression, protest, and backlash. I've been celebrated, and I've been branded an enemy of the state. But I can tell you this: this is the most frightening moment of my life," Fonda admitted in a letter shared with CNN, asking her peers to join the relaunched committee.

She continued, "When I feel scared, I look to history. I wish there were a secret playbook with all the answers — but there never has been. That's why I believe the time is now to relaunch the Committee for the First Amendment — the same Committee my father, Henry Fonda, joined with other artists during the McCarthy era, when so many were silenced or even imprisoned simply for their words and their craft."

Fonda concluded her letter, saying, "The stakes are too high, and silence is too costly They're betting on our fear and our silence. But our industry — and artists around the world — have a long history of refusing to be silenced, even in the darkest times."

The original committee was first created by Henry Fonda in 1947 during the McCarthy era's "Second Red Scare" — a period of growing fear about communist infiltration and Soviet Union influence in Washington, Hollywood, and beyond — in an effort to defend free speech and oppose government activity. At the time, the committee had icons like Lucille Ball, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and Judy Garland as participants.

The committee was met with backlash for its suspected ties to the Communist Party, which many of its famous Hollywood members balked at.

This time around, the relaunched committee includes support from artists of all mediums, including filmmakers Spike Lee, Barry Jenkins, J.J. Abrams, Patty Jenkins, Aaron Sorkin, and Judd Apatow; TV show creator Quinta Brunson; musicians Barbra Streisand, John Legend, Janelle Monáe, Gracie Abrams, and Billie Eilish; comedians Margaret Cho, Tiffany Haddish, and Nikki Glaser; as well as actors Lily Tomlin, Mandy Patinkin, Whoopi Goldberg, Mark Ruffalo, Anne Hathaway, Kerry Washington, Pedro Pascal, Natalie Portman, Viola Davis, Susan Sarandon, and Ben Stiller.

"The federal government is once again engaged in a coordinated campaign to silence critics in the government, the media, the judiciary, academia, and the entertainment industry," the committee wrote in a statement posted to its website on Wednesday. "We refuse to stand by and let that happen."

The statement continued, "Free speech and free expression are the inalienable rights of every American of all backgrounds and political beliefs — no matter how liberal or conservative you may be. The ability to criticize, question, protest, and even mock those in power is foundational to what America has always aspired to be."

The statement added, "We understand that this is a frightening and confusing moment for many people. We recognize that we represent just one group of many who are under threat right now... Americans of every walk of life are facing intimidation and censorship too — and we stand with them."

Declaring that this isn't a "partisan issue," the statement concluded with a pointed callout to "those who profit from our work while threatening the livelihoods of everyday working people, bowing to government censorship, and cowering to brute intimidation. We see you and history will not forget. This will not be the last you hear from us."

Fonda's relaunch of the committee comes amid a dire state of American politics and, specifically, a tumultuous chapter in late-night television that has seen President Donald Trump publicly criticize hosts who have been vocal critics of his presidency.**

Political discussions on late-night TV have been thrust into the spotlight since July, when CBS announced that *The Late Show With Stephen Colbert* would end in May 2026, several days after Colbert criticized the network's parent company, Paramount, for settling a lawsuit from Trump.

Soon after, ABC pulled *Jimmy Kimmel Live* from the airwaves for six days after affiliate groups like Nexstar and Sinclair preempted the show, citing Kimmel's comments about Charlie Kirk's alleged killer, Tyler Robinson. The move was suggested by FCC chair Brendan Carr, who also criticized Kimmel's comments.**

The decision led to a wave of backlash from notable figures in Hollywood, who all criticized the move as an attack on free speech. Conan O'Brien wrote that Kimmel's suspension "should disturb everyone on the Right, Left, and Center," while Bill Maher called out the network for remaining silent after pulling *Jimmy Kimmel Live* from the air. Several stars also moved to cancel their Disney+ subscriptions in solidarity with Kimmel's firing.**

Where To Travel in 2026, According to Experts

Travelers are already dreaming big for 2026 — and not just in terms of miles logged.

After years of shifting travel habits, experts say wanderlust is swinging wide open, with people craving both the comfort of iconic destinations and the thrill of charting new territory. While the itineraries will vary — from America's legendary national parks to once-in-a-lifetime adventures across the globe — a trend is becoming clear: Trips are getting bigger, bolder, and more intentional.

Think chasing misty waterfalls in Yosemite, trekking through Peru, digging into smoky barbecue in Austin, or even boarding an expedition cruise bound for Antarctica — yes, that's possible now. Wherever the journey leads, travelers aren't just checking boxes — they're seeking experiences that feel unforgettable and worth the splurge.

Here's a closer look at the destinations experts say will see more visitors next year.

Where to travel in 2026U.S. National Parks

National parks are expected to be high on travelers' lists for 2026, thanks in part to the influence of popular shows like Yellowstone, according to travel experts such as Sydney Brehm. And for many travelers, nothing beats the classics.

"Yosemite's expecting to have its biggest year of visitation on record for 2025, and I don't see that changing for next year," says Brehm, a lead guide at National Park specialist Good Trip Adventures. Nestled in California's Sierra Nevada mountains, Yosemite continues to draw visitors with its dramatic granite cliffs, giant sequoias, and world-famous waterfalls.

Brehm says other iconic spots — from the Grand Canyon to Zion, Yellowstone, and the nearby Tetons — aren't slowing down either. However, she notes that travelers are becoming more savvy about how they plan, as the Trump administration has cut nearly a quarter of the National Park Service's workforce through layoffs, resignations, and a hiring freeze — all while insisting the parks stay "open and accessible."

However, the strain is evident: visitor centers and campgrounds have shortened hours or shut down, fee stations are dark, and emergency response is stretched thin.

Looking ahead, Brehm says it's tough to predict exactly how 2026 will play out. "We've seen parks close their campgrounds a little early or open them a little later, change the way they're managing reservation systems — the parks are doing the best they can. I think it's our responsibility, especially as a tour company, to educate people we bring into these spaces, make sure they're recreating responsibly, and understand that the parks are hurting."

Against that backdrop, parkgoers haven't been deterred, but they're adapting in ways like steering clear of desert parks in the height of summer or heading out earlier in the season to avoid wildfire smoke. "I certainly think that's a very real consequence of climate change," she says.

Far-flung and exotic destinations

Lucy Mason, a travel coordinator at Atlas Adventures, says the destinations drawing the most interest — and where they're selling the most group trips — include Egypt, Peru, Morocco, and Japan. Europe isn't out of the picture, though: "We're just seeing a surge of interest in spots that were once under the radar, like Umbria in Italy or Switzerland," she says.

Mason attributes the pull toward these far-flung adventures to travelers seeking experiences that are both bucket-list worthy and immersive — experiences that go beyond the typical tourist trail.

"I am always so encouraged by both our clients and our guests on Atlas Adventures — they want more cultural and off-the-beaten-path experiences, they want to learn about new cultures and really immerse themselves in these once-in-a-lifetime experiences," Mason tells us. "There's definitely a move away from Instagram famous spots and more intrigue into how to discover new places."

Less traditional hotspots, such as Saudi Arabia, Bhutan, and even Antarctica, are starting to emerge on travel radars, offering adventure and cultural intrigue for those looking beyond the usual routes.

Mason notes that Saudi Arabia is high on her own wish list, drawn to its mix of ancient history and ambitious new tourism projects. The country has been opening its doors more widely to international visitors, showcasing everything from Red Sea resorts to the desert region of AlUla.

Bhutan, meanwhile, continues to attract those seeking cultural immersion and Himalayan landscapes, guided by its "high value, low volume" model that limits visitor numbers through a Sustainable Development Fee and emphasizes sustainability. And Antarctica — long considered the final frontier — is attracting more tourism, thanks to expedition cruises that make the icy continent more accessible than ever.

Austin, Texas

Austin's reputation has been rising over the past few years as events like Austin City Limits and SXSW attract bigger names (including our very own Katie Couric), and foodies expose the absolutely drool-worthy culinary scene. And that growth shows no signs of stopping. According to Chloe Buss, regional director of field operations at the short-term rental start-up AvantStay, it's shaping up to be one of the top destinations next year. "Austin will be our biggest jewel," she says. Why? The barbecue, Tex-Mex, and impressive festival lineups, for starters. Plus, the very recent surge of interest in Formula 1 racing (thank you, Netflix and Brad Pitt) has led to an increase in attendees at Austin's annual Formula 1 U.S. Grand Prix.

But even if you skip the headline events, Buss says Austin still delivers — and stays true to the city's famous "Keep Austin Weird" vibe.

"Austin's unique because you can go from a world-class festival to a dive bar where a local band's playing, sip a vodka soda out of a plastic cup, and have just as great a time. It's the best of both worlds — and that's what keeps drawing people there," she tells us.

Upstate New York

Buss also highlights upstate New York as a rising favorite. "Lake Tahoe will always be a draw," she says, "but what about the Hudson Valley? There are so many other beautiful places to explore."

Take Ithaca, for example: the town topped CNN Travel's 2025 list of Best Towns in America to Visit, thanks to its dramatic waterfalls and gorges at spots like Buttermilk Falls and Robert H. Treman State Park. CNN also praised the town's lively cultural scene, from long-running operations like the Ithaca Farmers Market to newer favorites such as South Hill Cider.

More broadly, tourism across upstate New York has been booming, with Central New York alone seeing an 80 percent jump in visitor spending since 2019, and regions like the Catskills and Adirondacks also drawing record crowds as travelers seek out nature and charm.

Planning smarter in 2026

Of course, not every trip has to happen right away — or break the bank. Mason says that if dream destinations feel out of reach, it can help to plan further out. "For travelers on a tighter budget, it can make sense to hold off on Japan for a few years," she explains. "These spots go through waves of popularity, and Covid really shifted those patterns."

Another money-saving tip Mason emphasizes is investing in travel insurance — something she says she's relied on "more times than I can count." Insurance can help cover delays, lost luggage, theft, or medical emergencies. In the U.S., she adds, many policies also include coverage for trip cancellation or abandonment in the event of a serious illness or the death of a loved one.

Whether you travel now or later, planning is half the fun, right? And that can start anytime.

While it performed incredibly well in the United Kingdom, the final day of the Ryder Cup this past weekend didn't get many eyes in the United States.

NBC averaged just 3.22 million viewers for Sunday's Ryder Cup singles matches at Bethpage Black in New York, according to the Sports Business Journal's Josh Carpenter. That made it the least-viewed U.S. Ryder Cup Sunday since before 2000. By comparison, the last U.S. Ryder Cup drew about 3.51 million viewers when it was at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin.

Europe, on the other hand, was locked in to the Ryder Cup on Sunday — which makes sense, not only because they won the cup 15-13, but due to the fact that they entered the final day of play with a massive lead. Sky Sports said it had a record 5 million viewers watching on Sunday, which is up 45% from the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome. The weekend, it said, was the most-watched in Sky Sports history.

Now to be fair, the Ryder Cup is never going to draw a massive audience in the United States. The final day of play always goes up against the NFL, which takes a significant chunk of viewers away. Sunday was also the final day of the MLB regular season.

But the United States' performance over the first two days certainly didn't help any. Europe took a dominant 11.5-4.5 lead over the Americans into Sunday's singles matches, which marked the largest European lead after two days in Ryder Cup history. They needed just 2.5 points to retain the cup, and then gained an extra half point before play even started on Sunday after Viktor Hovland had to withdraw with his neck injury.

Though the U.S. team made a run on Sunday to suddenly get back in it, Europe escaped with the win after Shane Lowry secured the cup with a birdie on No. 18.

The win for Europe was its first on American soil since 2012, though they've won nine of the last 12 outings in what's been a truly dominant stretch for the continent. The Ryder Cup will return to Europe in 2027, when it's held at Adare Manor in Ireland. Hazeltine National Golf Club in Minnesota will play host in 2029.
