The 2022 Copa do Brasil (officially the Copa Intelbras do Brasil 2022 for sponsorship reasons)[1] was the 34th edition of the Copa do Brasil football competition. It was held between 22 February and 19 October 2022.[2][3]

The competition was contested by 92 teams, either qualified by participating in their respective state championships (70), by the 2022 CBF ranking (10), by the 2021 Copa do Nordeste (1), by the 2021 Copa Verde (1), by the 2021 Série B (1) or those qualified for 2022 Copa Libertadores (9). Atlético Mineiro were the defending champions but they were eliminated in the Round of 16.

Tied 1–1 on aggregate, Flamengo defeated Corinthians 6–5 on penalties in the finals to win their fourth title.[4] As champions, Flamengo qualified for the 2023 Copa Libertadores group stage and 2023 Supercopa do Brasil.[5]
