Dundalk enter the 2022 season having finished in sixth place in the league the previous season. They are still the League of Ireland Cup holders because, after they won it in 2019, the competition was not held in 2020 or 2021. The club will not be competing in European football this season—their first season without European football since 2013. 2022 is Dundalk's 14th consecutive season in the top tier of Irish football, their 87th in all, and their 96th in the League of Ireland.

Stephen O'Donnell is the club's new head coach going into the new term, having replaced Vinny Perth in the close season.

Season summary[]

The league season started on 18 February 2022.[1] In the fifth match of the season, away to Shelbourne, Patrick Hoban scored to become the first player to score 100 league goals in the club's history.[2]
