The UK Athletics Indoor Championships is here at a pivotal stage of the winter season.

Athletes will be determined to qualify for both the European Athletics Indoor Championships in Apeldoorn, Netherlands and then World Athletics Indoor Championships in Nanjing, China.

It is a huge year of athletics as we build up to the outdoor season and the World Championships in Tokyo, Japan, with the inaugural Grand Slam Track season likely to disrupt a sport in need of innovation.

The likes of Laura Muir, Georgia Hunter Bell, Neil Gourley and more will battle it out over two entertaining days of athletics in Birmingham a week after the Keely Klassic, though Keely Hodgkinson is out and recovering from a hamstring injury and Josh Kerr is resting up after a bout of sickness before the first Grand Slam Track meeting in Kingston Jamaica in April.

Here's everything you need to know about the championships:

The UK Athletics Indoor Championships takes place 22-23 February in an action-packed weekend at the Utilita Arena, Birmingham, UK.

The event will be available to watch via BBC iPlayer, BBC Sport website and the app on both Saturday, 22 February, from 11:20am to 6:40pm, and Sunday, 23 February from 11:25am to 4pm. And a live stream will be available on mobile devices and desktop computers.
