Cheltenham 2022 dates, race schedule and start times for all four days of the Festival

The brightest and best in the National Hunt game are set to descend on Prestbury Park for four days of quality racing at the 2022 Cheltenham Festival.

The grandstands will be packed to the brim as punters return after last year’s meeting took place behind closed doors due to coronavirus restrictions in the United Kingdom, which means the famous Cheltenham Roar will be back with a bang.
