1 Pursuant to a December 2020 ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on doping sanctions, Russian athletes and teams are prohibited from competing under the Russian flag or using the Russian national anthem at any Olympic Games or world championships through 16 December 2022, and must compete as “neutral athlete[s].” For IIHF tournaments, the Russian team will play under the name “ROC”. Instead of the Russian national anthem being played at the 2021 World Championship, Piano Concerto No.1 by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was played.
2 On 28 February 2022, the IIHF decided to expel ROC and Belarus from the tournament due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine

IIHF World Championship Details, location and date

The Ice hockey IIHF World Championship Games officially begin on 13-29 May 2022

Due to several team withdrawals, the 2022 IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s World Championship Division II Group B in Zagreb, Croatia, cannot be played as originally planned. The tournament has been moved to 16-23 May 2022 and all six originally entered teams remain eligible to participate: Australia, Iceland, New Zealand, Turkey, Croatia and South Africa.

The Seven network is the only place to watch the IIHF 2022 on TV this year. The deal for the 2022 Games is the same one which came into effect for the 2022 Games and gives Seven the exclusive rights for Australian television audiences.

Seven will broadcasting their IIHF coverage across all three of their channels – 7, 7TWO, and 7mate.

Seven is also the place to go to if you are keen on finding a live stream for any event. They are live streaming all three of their channels’ coverage live online, both through their website and through the Olympics on 7 app, available for iOS and Android.

However, that’s not all – if you’re keen to watch an event that is not being shown on one of Seven’s three channels, you do still have the ability to live stream it online or through the app.

Unlike four years ago though, you won’t need to pay for the right to watch every single event out of Japan. Instead, it’ll all be for free through a yet to be confirmed Channel Seven digital application. All you’ll need to provide is an email address and some personal details to access thousands of additional hours of content, which Seven have also said will be streamed in HD.

So how are you going to know when you need to watch? We’ve got you covered of course, with the ultimate Olympics TV Guide for Australians, to let you know what’s on TV and when, all in AEST time.

If you’re looking for even more detail, you can hit up our Olympics Events Guide for Australians which lists every single event on at Beijing 2022, and the AEST time and date that it’ll occur.

If you’re wanting to listen into the Olympics coverage on radio instead, there are a couple of different options.
