The 2022 New England Revolution season is the club's 27th season of existence, and their 27th consecutive season playing in Major League Soccer, the top flight of American soccer. The season began on February 15 when the club began their play in the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League, while the MLS season began on February 26, where the Revolution entered as the defender Supporters' Shield winners. Outside of these two competitions, the Revolution will play in the 2022 U.S. Open Cup.

Background[]

Main article: 2021 New England Revolution season

The 2021 season was the Revolution's 26th season of existence, and their 26th season in MLS, the top tier of American soccer. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Revolution began the season on April 17, and the season concluded on November 7. The Revolution were slated to play in the 2022 U.S. Open Cup in addition to MLS play, but the tournament was cancelled by U.S. Soccer due to logistical challenges associated with the pandemic.

During the club regular season, the Revolution amassed a total of 73 points, off of a record of 22–5–7, which set the record for the most points obtained in the regular season. At the end of the regular season, manager Bruce Arena won the Sigi Schmid Coach of the Year Award, for the best coach of the 2021 season.[1] Goalkeeper Matt Turner won the MLS Goalkeeper of the Year Award, and Carles Gil won the MLS Comeback Player of the Year Award. Four players from the Revolution were named to the MLS Best XI for the 2021 season, which was tied for the second most in league history. Turner, Gil, Tajon Buchanan, and Gustavo Bou were named to the Best XI.[2]

Outside of MLS play, the club qualified for the 2021 MLS Cup Playoffs. In the Conference Semifinals (or Quarterfinals), the Revolution lost to eventual MLS Cup finalist, New York City FC on penalties, ending their hopes to be the first MLS team to complete the league double (winning both the Supporters' Shield and MLS Cup) since 2017.
