We are absolutely spoiled with a full calendar of eventing for the first time in recent history, and the adventure continues this week as the long-awaited 2022 FEI World Championships for Eventing kick off Wednesday, September 14 with the first horse inspection.
If you aren’t lucky enough to attend in person (I feel your pain there!), I’ve rounded up the best ways to follow along from wherever you are, so keep this post bookmarked (along with our Ultimate Guide to World Championships, of course) and share with your fellow eventing nerd friends.
Additionally, it’s likely I’ve missed some information on international viewing, so please feel free to email [email protected] or comment on this post if you have more details than I found!
The global broadcast will be carried by FEI.TV, which is now a part of ClipMyHorse.TV. You’ll need a subscription to access the stream, which starts at $17.03/month —- but this will also get you access to the entirety of their global streaming schedule, including all the World Championships disciplines, plus a jam-packed archive of competitions and programs. There is also a free trial for new users, and the service can be canceled at any point in time. Bonus: the World Championships for Driving are also set to be held at Pratoni the week following eventing and will also be broadcast live on FEI.TV.
