The preliminary qualifiers were originally due to take place in late May but were delayed to June with a change in venue with the Piste de Speedway de Lamothe Landerron and Wack Hofmeister Stadium dropping out of hosting a qualifier due to the pandemic.^[2] The 2020 Australian Championship,^[3] the American Final^[4] and the DMU Qualifier^[5] were among the pre-qualifying events staged by national federations to determine their nominations. The three riders that eventually qualified for the 2022 Speedway Grand Prix series via the Grand Prix Challenge were Paweł Przedpełski, Max Fricke and Patryk Dudek.
