The BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2022 will be held at MediaCityUK in Salford on Wednesday 21 December.
Gabby Logan, Alex Scott, Gary Lineker and Clare Balding will present the 69th edition of the show live on BBC One.
The show will celebrate 12 months of incredible sporting action, including England winning Euro 2022.
This year also saw a record number of medals won by home nations at the Commonwealth Games, as well as women’s curling gold at the Winter Olympics.
But there is still more to come, including two Rugby League World Cups, the Women’s Rugby World Cup and the Men’s Football World Cup.
The tennis player Emma Raducanu was voted as a 2021 winner after ending Britain’s 44-year wait for a women’s Grand Slam singles champion with her victory at the US Open.
Director of Sport Barbara Slater said: “The BBC is home to the biggest sporting events and has brought key moments of a great year to audiences across the UK.
“We’ll have lots of options for competitors and we can’t wait to celebrate the year’s achievements in December.”
Categories for 2022 will include: BBC Sports Personality of the Year; World Sports Star of the Year; Helen Rollason Award; Young Sports Personality of the Year; Unsung hero; Coach of the Year; Team of the Year; and the lifetime award.
Nominations for the BBC Unsung Hero award will open on 30 September.
