The women's tandem sprint B at the 2022 Commonwealth Games is part of the cycling programme, and took place on 29 July 2022.
No bronze medal was awarded as the minimum five entries did not compete, after a late withdrawal from the fifth entered team.[1] This meant only the gold and silver were awarded per Commonwealth Games Federation regulations.[2]
