Your complete guide to when BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2022 will go ahead as well as the location for this year's ceremony.
The BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2022 will be announced very soon – and now we have a shortlist of six contenders to prove it.
The nominees this year are gymnast Jessica Gadirova, footballer Beth Mead, curling's Eve Muirhead, cricketer Ben Stokes, snooker player Ronnie O'Sullivan and athlete Jake Wightman.
Footballer Beth Mead is the favourite to win the trophy after her six strikes and five assists led the Lionesses to glory at the UEFA Women's Euro 2022.
The Arsenal forward won the Golden Boot for leading scorer and was named player of the tournament.
Harry Kane was in the running and would have been a strong contender had England gone all the way in the World Cup, but unfortunately they were halted by France in Qatar.
