The 2022 Edmonton Elks season was the 64th season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 73rd overall. The Elks improved upon their league-worst 3–11 record from 2021, but were eliminated from playoff qualification on October 8 following a loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.[1] The Elks set a dubious record for most consecutive home losses when they lost for the 15th straight time at home on October 1, surpassing the Ottawa Rough Riders and their 14-game home losing streak from 1987 to 1988.[2] The team finished winless at home for the second straight season and extended their CFL record to 17 consecutive home losses.[3]

The team's 2022 season was the first under general manager Chris Jones.[4] It was also the third season overall for Edmonton with Jones as head coach, with Jones having coached the team to its most recent title in 2015. The team's previous head coach, general manager, and president, Jaime Elizondo, Brock Sunderland, and Chris Presson, respectively, were fired following the 2021 season.[5]

The club discontinued the use of the antler helmet logo it adopted the previous season alongside its name change to Elks, and replaced it with a version of the traditional "EE" logo it used while playing under its former nickname, the Eskimos.
