The 2022 Chicago Sky season will be the franchise's 17th season in the Women's National Basketball Association, and their fourth season under head coach James Wade. They are the defending league champions after defeating the Phoenix Mercury in the 2021 WNBA Finals.

Entering the offseason, the Sky only had four players from the previous season under contract.[1] The team re-signed Courtney Vandersloot, Allie Quigley, and Kahleah Copper and added Emma Meesseman via free agency.[2][3][4] Free agent Stefanie Dolson departed the team and signed with the New York Liberty.[5] In a sign-and-trade deal, free agent Diamond DeShields was traded to the Phoenix Mercury and the Sky added Julie Allemand.[6][7]
