The 2022 LCS season was the tenth season of the League Championship Series (LCS), a professional esports league for the video game League of Legends. As 2022 was the tenth anniversary of the League Championship Series, Riot announced a new LCS logo alongside "year-long celebrations planned" for the league. The season was preceded with the LCS Lock In, a preseason tournament that ran from January 14 to 30, 2022. The season was divided into two splits: Spring and Summer. The Spring Split began on February 5 and culminated with the Spring playoff finals on April 24, 2022. The Summer Split began on June 18 and culminated with the LCS Championship Final on September 11, 2022.
In the 2022 season, Riot Games took action against Andy Dinh, CEO and co-founder of TSM, imposing a US$75,000 fine and a two-year probation following an LCS investigation that revealed a recurring pattern of bullying and rule violations related to profanity, hate speech, and harassment. Additionally, Riot permanently banned former TSM coach Peter Zhang for mishandling player salaries, soliciting loans, and failing to provide compensation.
Evil Geniuses won the spring split playoffs, qualifying them for the 2022 Mid-Season Invitational. In the LCS Championship playoffs, Cloud9, 100 Thieves, and Evil Geniuses claimed the first, second, and third positions, respectively, earning qualifications to the 2022 World Championship.
