The 2022 World Padel Tour was the tenth edition of the World Padel Tour, the most prestigious professional padel circuit in the world. In the male division, Alejandro Galán and Juan Lebrón retained the number 1 spot for a third year, with Lebrón becoming the third player since the foundation of Padel Pro Tour, after Fernando Belasteguín and Juan Martín Díaz, to keep the first ranking spot for four consecutive years. In the female division Alejandra Salazar and Gemma Triay were crowned number one for a second consecutive year, their third individually.

This edition was held throughout 2022, with 28 tournaments played in twelve countries, making it the most international edition in the history of the World Padel Tour up to that point. All tournaments had both men's and women's categories except one.

Schedule The 2022 season calendar was unveiled on January 21st, and it highlighted a large number of international tournaments on the circuit, including the first time a World Padel Tour (WPT) tournament was held in France, totaling 12 countries, plus an exhibition in Finland, which increased the number of countries hosting the World Padel Tour to thirteen, although it ended up being 12.

On February 2nd, the "Challenger" tournaments were added, including the first "Challenger Final" in history in Valencia. A few days later, changes were announced. Due to health restrictions in Sweden, the Stockholm Open was postponed to September, replacing the Toledo Challenger scheduled for those dates. Furthermore, the Valencia Challenger Final became a regular Challenger event, with the Final Challenger moving to Córdoba, Spain.

Mid-season, the cancellation of the Sardinia Open in Italy was announced, and in September the Middle East Master, which was to be held in Saudi Arabia, was postponed to 2023 to be held in Abu Dhabi.

As a final modification, the Challenger Final venue was changed again, this time definitively to Menorca, although the pavilion (within Menorca) was changed shortly afterwards.
