(Looking for a different day? Try the master list!)
Compiled from: NSK's postings for makuuchi, juryo, makushita, sandanme, jonidan and jonokuchi; NSK's absence list, NSK's tournament leader list, NSK's tournament champions list and NSK's Day 10 program in Japanese.
There are 156 bouts listed on the schedule today. It's an even-numbered day which means the west side is first to get called.

Wikipedia has a list of winning techniques like oshidashi, yorikiri, etc and a sumo glossary, the heaviest grand sumo competitors ever, and an English-language page for just about every sekitori there is or was.
SumoDB has the entire banzuke in both Japanese and English. SumoDB also contains information about historical results and head to head matchups.
Nihon Sumo Kyokai (Japan Sumo Association) links: current rankings Japanese/English; yobidashi (ushers & attendants) Japanese/English; gyoji (referees) Japanese/English; oyakata (coaches) Japanese/English; heya (training stables) Japanese/English. NSK homepage in English.

Hochi.news sumo articles (in Japanese). Useful Japanese terms to search in the highlights page for: 休場 (kyujo, absence); コロナ (korona, COVID).
Japanese language resources: DeepL for translating entire articles; Jisho for looking up specific words and kanji; the 10ten extension for Firefox lets you mouse over particular Japanese text of interest on websites.
Curiosities: that time half a stable went AWOL because the stablemaster's wife was being too harsh on them.
A comprehensive gallery featuring head shots and bios of rikishi, oyakata, gyoji, yobidashi and more (correct to the beginning of 2022). Pre-bout rituals explained; What do the gyoji say?
Thanks to the maintainer of this page for providing these images! Click the name of the shimpan to see what they look like. (You may need to middle-click it to open the link in a new window.)
Members of this senior group join up with other shimpan groups to act as head shimpan after the juryo ring entrance ceremony & intermission.
Due to a bullying scandal in his stable, Isegahama (yokozuna Asahifuji) resigned from his position in the NSK hierarchy. He is no longer a senior shimpan.
If shimpan start to drop out like last basho, expect to see one or more of these folks: Hatachiyama (komusubi Tochinohana), Minato (maegashira 2 Minatofuji), Shiranui (komusubi Wakakoyu), Takadagawa (sekiwake Akinoshima) and senior Fujishima (ozeki Musoyama)
The official program only lists sekitori yobidashi from Soichi onwards. Even after their match-calling shifts, these youngsters work throughout the day as attendants.
There's a slightly outdated gallery of yobidashi headshots with bios at Heyaaz - it's missing Jin because he debuted during 2022, plus there's some yobis in that chart who retired in 2022.
To help spot them, here's links to screencaps of the non-sekitori yobidashi in their order of appearance, including onscreen bios in Japanese:
