The expansive coverage will be spread across NBC, Peacock, USA Network and CNBC.
A full summer of track & field coverage begins this Saturday, May 28, with the world-renowned Diamond League Prefontaine Classic from Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore., which will also host the World Championships, from July 15-24, and the U.S. Outdoor Championships, from June 24-26.
2022 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

This will be the first outdoor World Championship meet since 2019 (the 2021 meet was postponed due to COVID) and is expected to include Olympians, world record holders, and global medalists dueling for world titles.
Coverage will be spread across NBC, Peacock, USA Network, and CNBC from July 15-24. Additional programming details will be announced soon.
