The centrepiece of the day is the men's football final at Wembley - a 3pm kick-off
Dave Gordon
BBC Sport's head of major event
- At 1500 BST, the men's Olympic football gold-medal game will kick off inside Wembley Stadium (£40-£185). Argentina beat Nigeria in the Beijing equivalent of this game
- Later that evening, the men's hockey gold medallists are also decided at the Olympic Park (£45-£150)
- That game ought to conclude at roughly the same time as the last track and field event of London 2012 finishes. The final night in the Olympic Stadium includes the men's 4x100m and women's 4x400m relays, plus the men's 5000m and javelin finals, and the women's 800m and high jump finals (£50-£725)
- The second of Tom Daley's two events, the individual 10m platform dive, reaches its final inside the Aquatics Centre (£50-£450)
- Inside the ExCel, the men's boxing finals begin with five Olympic titles up for grabs (£95-£395)
OFF THE BEATEN PATH
- Not many people know Ed McKeever's name, but he's the world champion in the canoe sprint single 200m event. Expect him to contend for Olympic gold at Eton Dorney (££35-£95)
- The mountain biking venue at Hadleigh Farm, in Essex, finally bursts to life for the women's cross-country race (£20-£45)
- Elsewhere, there are women's gold medals available in three team events - basketball, handball and volleyball
- Sailing in Weymouth draws to a close with the medal race in the women's Elliott 6m class, replacing the Yngling (which GB won in Beijing) in the Olympic schedule
