The tournament takes place from 6 July – 31 July 2022 in 10 stadiums, across nine cities in England, including Brighton & Hove, London, Manchester, Milton Keynes, Rotherham, Sheffield, Southampton, Trafford and Wigan & Leigh. There will be over 700,000 tickets available, with extensive coverage of every game of the tournament on free-to-air television, radio and online.
Central to the fan experience will be the inspirational volunteers supporting the tournament and helping to run the show, with a total workforce of over 2,000 volunteers across the country, performing roles in every host city and venue.
