The Midsummer Classic, also known as the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, is a unique popularity contest. Choosing the best of the best is only part of the process. The fact that so many identifiable players participate in the sport is fascinating. The MLB All-Star Game in 2022 is scheduled for July.

For the umpteenth time, the oldest tennis tournament will witness the rise and fall of various world-famous players. There is no doubt that several athletes will see immediate changes in their careers as they join the prestigious All England Club following a well-deserved victory.

4. The British Open
The Royal Troon Golf Club will host the 2022 British Open from July 14th to 17th. Unfortunately, the event has a history of time changes, which may discourage some fans from attending. You can, however, still enjoy several game rounds because they will be evenly distributed throughout the scheduled period.
5. The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)
Even if you’re new to the sport, the UFC is irresistible. Given the large number of mixed martial arts superstars competing this year, fans can expect to see the best version of the famous fighting sport. The Israel Adesanya vs. Jared Cannonier card and Kamaru Usman vs. Leon Edwards card are expected to be the summer’s most exciting events.
6. NFL Training Camp and Preseason
Some dismiss the NFL preseason as a pointless event in which superstars compete for half the time. This drab attitude, however, is about to change.

Beginning August 11th, preseason events will provide the opportunity to highlight the actual matches worth watching as well as the fantasy football teams worth selecting.
