The 2022 FINA Artistic Swimming World Series began on 19 March 2022 with a virtual event jointly hosted by the United States and Canada and ended on 22 May 2022 with an onsite super final event in Athens, Greece.[1] The series consisted of four legs across three continents and featured solo, duet, and team artistic swimming events in female, male, and mixed categories.[2] It was the final edition to use the name FINA Artistic Swimming World Series preceding a change of competition name on 9 December 2022 to FINA Artistic Swimming World Cup for the 2023 edition.[3]

Mixed gender team events featured up to two men per team.[2] In December 2022, following the conclusion of World Series, the International Olympic Committee announced it would be allowing men to compete in artistic swimming for the first time only in mixed gender teams events at the 2024 Olympic Games, using the same format for team composition, up to two men, as the World Series.[4]

From 21 April through the end of the World Series, athletes and officials from Russia and Belarus were banned from participating due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[5]
