"Rob, many sports are just finishing the season. Will we have anything to bet on?" The closer summer comes, the more we get similar questions. Although some big competitions are over for us, don't worry.
We will analyse tips and tickets for you every day - 365 days a year, day after day (including Christmas, Easter, and other holidays). Summer is coming, and the silly season is not happening at all! So, what are we going to bet on in the upcoming sunny period?
FOOTBALL
Let's start with European football. The UEFA Nations League begins with 158 international football matches taking place. The competition will take place from 1.6.2022-27.9.2022. The Nations League started in 2018, and the competition replaced the classic system of friendly matches. Portugal won the first final (2018/2019). France celebrated its victory last season (2020/2021).
Qualifying matches for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar will take place from 1.6.2022 until 22.9.2022. The main competition begins in the second half of November 2022.
In addition to these competitions, there are also 60 international friendly matches. We will bet on these particular duels between 25.5.2022 and 14.6.2022.
In the summer, we'll be able to enjoy the European Women's Football Championship 2022 (6.7.2022-31.7.2022) in England. This UEFA-based tournament will be the thirteenth in history. Unfortunately, we did not see it last year due to a coronavirus pandemic. On July 30, 2022, the competition of the third and fourth English football leagues – EFL League One and EFL League Two will start.
At the beginning of July 2022, we will start analysing the first qualifying rounds of the European Conference League, which will culminate on June 7, 2023 in Prague.
The qualifying rounds of the Champions League are starting on 5.7.2022 and 6.7.2022! The competition's final will take place on June 10, 2023 in Istanbul.
On August 10, we will be watching a unique competition – the UEFA Super Cup in Helsinki. This competition is unique in that it consists of only one match. Who can take part in the competition? Winner of the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League. This unique competition has been going on since 1972. The last winner was Chelsea, who won against Villarreal CF in Belfast, Ireland.
We are not done with football yet - at the beginning of August, the European League starts with qualifying rounds. On August 18, 2022 the playoffs will come. The final will take place in Budapest (Hungary) on May 31, 2023.
ICE HOCKEY
The Stanley Cup and AHL (Amateur Hockey League) playoffs will begin at the turn of May and June this year.
The Ice Hockey World Championship semi-finals will take place on May 28, 2022. The World Cup will continue the next day, in which the final will take place together with the bronze medal match (29.5.2022). Around the middle of the summer (July 20, 2022), the preparatory matches of the Czech ice hockey teams will begin. On August 10, 2022, NHL teams will also start having preparatory matches.
TENNIS
Summer is a paradise for all tennis fans. We are preparing for a thorough analysis of tennis matches and we can assure you that there will be many of them. We have prepared the most important tournaments below - but there will be many more! As the saying goes - ladies first. So let's start with the WTA (Women's Tennis Association) tournaments first. We are currently working on a thorough analysis of the matches at the French Open.
This tournament runs from 22.5. to 5.6.2022 (the same goes for men). Let's continue with the most prestigious Grand Slam, Wimbledon. It starts in London on June 27, 2022, and the last matches will take place on July 10, 2022. The WTA 250 tournament starts in Prague, on July 25. #TeamRob will go to the match 100% and we will be happy to meet one of you there! It is definitely worth watching our Instagram - we often compete for tickets to various sporting events and maybe we will compete for tickets to this tournament. Other major tournaments include the 1,000-point Toronto and Cincinnati, which will take place around mid-August this year. The last Grand Slam is the US Open, in which both women and men will play on the hard surface in the USA between 29/8/2022 and 9/11/2022.
Men's tournaments (ATP - Association of Tennis Professionals) are waiting for us in Montreal and Cincinnati in mid-August. There won't be any shortage of matches. Tennis tournaments will continue until November.
BASEBALL (MLB and NPB)
Major League Baseball (MLB) is a professional baseball organization and the oldest major professional sports league in the world. We are looking forward to hundreds of matches that will take place throughout the summer.
Outside the United States, baseball is also a popular sport in Japan. Their professional league is called NPB (Nippon Professional Baseball). The season usually runs between April and October, with each team playing 144 matches. So there is nothing to fear. There will be a lot of sport events for our betting.
E-SPORTs
In the end, we still have a large number of tournaments in CS: GO. The first competition events took place in the second half of April, but continue until December this year. Most events will take place in the summer months of June and July.
