The 2022 season was Clube de Regatas do Flamengo's 127th year of existence, their 111th football season, and their 52nd in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, having never been relegated from the top division. In addition to the 2022 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, Flamengo also competed in the Supercopa do Brasil, CONMEBOL Copa Libertadores, the Copa do Brasil, and the Campeonato Carioca, the top tier of Rio de Janeiro's state football.
The season debut took place against Portuguesa-RJ, in the 1st round of the Taça Guanabara — main phase of the Campeonato Carioca — on January 26, but with younger players. The debut of the main team took place on February 2, in the 3rd round of the Taça Guanabara, against Boavista-RJ. They were runners-up of the Taça Guanabara. In the Carioca finals, they ended up runners-up after a 2–0 defeat and a 1–1 draw against Fluminense.
In the Supercopa do Brasil, they tied in normal time by 2–2 and lost the title in the penalty shoot-out to Atlético Mineiro by 8–7, being, therefore, runner-up.
