Why do British people say they’re watching “the cricket/football/tennis”?

Post Body
Normally, I hear “I’m watching football/cricket/tennis”, or “I’m watching the football/tennis/cricket game”.
Is putting “the” or eliminating “game” a British thing?
EDIT: Thanks so much for all your answers! Now, it's clear. Also - may England win the Euro 2024!
