The 2022 NRL season was the 115th season of professional rugby league in Australia and the 25th season run by the National Rugby League.

Teams

The lineup of teams remained unchanged for the 16th consecutive year. This became the second longest stretch of time (after 1947–1966, a span of 20 seasons) of a continuous line-up of teams in competition history (overtaking 15 seasons from 1967–1981).

Pre-season

Pre-season matches were played between 12 February and 28 February 2022, before a 10-day lead up until the beginning of the regular season.[19] It featured nineteen matches across three weekends, including the 2022 All Stars match, which was won by the Māori All Stars 16 – 10,[20] and the annual Charity Shield match between the South Sydney Rabbitohs and St George Illawarra Dragons, which the Dragons won 16–10.[21] The Titans were scheduled to play the Warriors in their second trial match but the match was postponed and then cancelled due to floods in the area.
