If you could get free tix to any sporting event what would you pick and why?

I'm going to assume we can choose the result, so like going to a clinching game of a seven-game series. It would be kind of a bummer to see a game-six where the result is a tied series, or have a ticket for a game-seven that never happens. Also assuming that we can pick the seat in the venue as well.
I'd like to see an NBA championship courtside. There's not another sporting event where the players could literally fly into the crowd at a moments notice like that.
Wimbledon, for the atmosphere, also would be amazing. It'd be kind of a disappointment if none of the "big three" were involved though.
I'd kinda want to see a sumo tournament in Japan. That seems like it'd be an experience. Who knows, I might get bored after 20 minutes though, and it might be too difficult to navigate with the language barrier and all.

A Stanley Cup finals where my favorite team is playing or Olympic hockey finals.
Maybe basketball finals in the 2020 Olympics, mostly because it'd be a free trip to Tokyo

Can I go back in time as well?
2010 Men's Hockey Finals. Lived it with friends, but wish I could have been there.

Do you mean one event (like the grand final for example?) or an entire event?
Because if I get to go to every FIFA World Cup game in 2026...then that's the easy choice. I can't even imagine how that's going to work with games being hosted all over the US, plus Canada and Mexico. Would be a fucking fortune to get around.

This right here is my choice. Want to get to it at least once before climate change gets it cancelled.
Ive been to the World Cup amd it was amazing, and I only went to 2 matches in the group stage. Having money/time for the entire competition would be the best thing ever, a whole month traveling an unknown country and watching football? YES!
If it would be just one match then I would probably prefer a Libertadores final (that involved Corinthians), but starting this year we have this shitty "neutral stadium" and "single match final" so I bet a lot of the atmosphere will be lost. I think a game 7 of the NBA, sitting a few meters from the players would be the next best thing.

of the things i haven't done yet? so many things. can't nail it to just one
i wanna go to the phoenix open and watch a round on hole 16
catch a night race at bristol or an f1 grand prix race at spa or monaco
football world cup final would be dope
watching the all blacks play at home in nz
catch a cricket match at lord's
wimbeldon final
olympics basketball or ice hockey finals
and the superbowl, of course. but an afl grand final would be amazing too
if it's just one, then I'm catching a match at old trafford.
