The 2022 San Francisco Giants season was the 140th season for the franchise in Major League Baseball, their 65th year in San Francisco, and their 23rd at Oracle Park. This was the third season under manager Gabe Kapler and also the first season since 2008 without longtime catcher Buster Posey, who retired the previous November.

On December 2, 2021, Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred announced a lockout of players, following expiration of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the league and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA). On March 10, 2022, MLB and the MLBPA agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement, thus ending the lockout. Opening Day took place on April 7.[1] Although MLB previously announced that several series would be cancelled due to the lockout, the agreement provides for a 162-game season, with originally canceled games to be made up via doubleheaders.[2]

Despite starting the season with a 37–27 record, the Giants would go 44–54 the rest of the way, eliminating them from playoff contention after posting 107 wins the previous year.
