The 2022 UCF Knights football team represents the University of Central Florida (UCF) during the 2022 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Knights are led by second-year head coach Gus Malzahn and play their home games at Bounce House in Orlando, Florida. They compete as members of the American Athletic Conference.

In September 2021 UCF, Cincinnati, and Houston accepted bids to join the Big 12,[1] the schools are contractually required to remain with the AAC through 2024. All indications are that the three schools would prefer to leave in 2023. The 2022 season is expected to be the program's last season as a member of the AAC.[2]
