The 2022 Isle of Man TT was held between 29 May and 10 June 2022, on the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course. It was the first Isle of Man TT event since 2019.[1]

The event was broadcast live for the first time in its 115-year existence on the new TT+ online service.[2]

Peter Hickman dominated the event with 4 wins,[3] with Michael Dunlop taking the remaining two solo races. The Birchall brothers extended their win streak with two Sidecar TT wins.[4]

The event was marred by the death of 6 competitors, making it the deadliest since 1970.[5] Two riders died in the Supersport class, second-time TT participant Mark Purslow in practice and the experienced Davy Morgan during the first Supersport TT.[6] Four riders died in the Sidecar class in 2 different accidents, newcomers Cesar Chanal and Olivier Lavorel in race 1,[7] and the father and son duo of Roger and Bradley Stockton in race 2.[8] Rider-journalist Mike Booth lost his leg during a practice crash.[9]
