The 2022 British Academy Television Awards were held on 8 May 2022 at the Royal Festival Hall in London, to recognise the excellence in British television of 2021.[1][2] The nominations were announced on 30 March 2022 alongside the nominations for the 2022 British Academy Television Craft Awards.[3] The nominees for Must-See Moment, voted on by the public, were announced on 23 March 2022.[4]

It was the first awards ceremony since the 2019 edition to be held with an in-person audience. Richard Ayoade returned as host for the third consecutive year.[2][3]

It was also the first awards ceremony to be held in its usual May slot.

Though It's a Sin was nominated for the most awards, with seven, including three in the same category (Best Supporting Actor), it won none. Three series won multiple awards: Big Zuu's Big Eats, Help, and Time each won two.[5] Including Craft Awards, Landscapers was also nominated for seven awards; it won three (all Craft).[6][7]
