The 2022 Supercopa do Brasil (officially the Supercopa Kia 2022 for sponsorship reasons)[1] was the fifth edition of Supercopa do Brasil, an annual football match played between the champions of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A and Copa do Brasil.

The match was played on 20 February 2022 between Atlético Mineiro, winners of the 2021 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A and the 2021 Copa do Brasil and Flamengo, runners-up of the 2021 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A.[2]

On 26 January 2022, the Federação de Futebol do Distrito Federal announced that the match would be hosted at Arena BRB Mané Garrincha in Brasília,[3] however one day later the Governo do Distrito Federal banned fans from venues in the state following the spread of the COVID-19.[4] Due to this inconvenience, on 8 February 2022, CBF decided to move the match to Arena Pantanal in Cuiabá.[5]

Tied 2–2, Atlético Mineiro won 8–7 on penalties to win their first title in the tournament.[6]
