The European Championships Munich 2022 will unite the existing senior championships of nine of the

elevates the Champions of Europe.

The now-finalised sports programme will feature 4,700 athletes from about 50 nations competing in 176 medal

European Championships Trophy.

European Championships Management has coordinated an intensive timetable development process that

Gymnastics, Rowing, Sport Climbing, Table Tennis and Triathlon along with Host City Munich, the European

Broadcasting Union and National Broadcasters.

European Championships 2022 Board Chair and European Athletics Vice President Libor Varhaník, said, ‘’This

is a huge milestone for the European Championships Munich 2022. All stakeholders have worked together in a

spirit of collaboration to develop a fantastic competition schedule over 11 days full of action-packed finals and

gold-medal moments that will feature Europe’s brightest stars including the likes of Dina Asher-Smith, Laura

Ludwig, Yul Oeltze, Adam Ondra, Peter Sagan, Max Whitlock, Birgit Skarstein, Timo Boll and Alistair

Brownlee.

‘‘Munich 2022 will be an amazing viewing experience for ticket holders and viewers at home with television,

radio and online channels able to deliver a huge choice of content to sports fans. By uniting our sports, we will

provide broadcasters great storytelling opportunities, allowing them to seamlessly switch between events and

giving audiences the chance to follow their favourite national athletes across the 9 Olympic sports from

morning till night as they strive for European glory.’’

The revamped sports programme for Munich 2022 sees increased diversity, with individual, team and ball

sports all represented, gender equity across all disciplines, and sports appealing to both young and older

audiences. The programme is expected to deliver a greater spread of European medal-winning nations

(estimated 36) than in 2018.
