All times are Eastern.

Football

On Sunday, watch the Tampa Bay Buccaneers take on the New Orleans Saints (1 p.m., Fox). Tom Brady has been shut out only three times in his career, the last time coming against the Saints last season in a 9-0 loss. Then watch the Cincinnati Bengals at the Dallas Cowboys (4:25 p.m., CBS). Joe Burrow is coming off a dreadful performance — four interceptions, seven sacks and a lost fumble — in an overtime loss to the Steelers and will be looking to get Cincinnati back on track.

Basketball

The Connecticut Sun kept their W.N.B.A. championship dreams alive after overpowering the Las Vegas Aces in Game 3 on Thursday night. But the Aces can clinch with a victory in Game 4 on Sunday in Connecticut (4 p.m., ESPN).

The EuroBasket tournament, the championship of Europe for men's national basketball teams, is being played for the first time since 2017, and it attracts most of the region's best players. ESPN+ is streaming the games in the U.S.; the final is at 4:20 p.m. on Sunday.

Tennis

The group stage of the Davis Cup continues into the weekend. The U.S. team has had a strong showing so far, beating Kazakhstan 2-1 on Thursday. They face the Netherlands on Saturday morning (9 a.m., Tennis Channel) and hope to advance to the quarterfinals in November.
