The 1922 major league baseball season began on April 12, 1922. The regular season ended on October 1, with the New York Giants and New York Yankees were the regular season champions of the National League and American League, respectively. The postseason began with Game 1 of the 19th World Series on October 4 and ended with Game 5 on October 8. In a repeat of the previous season, the Giants defeated the Yankees, four games to zero (with one tie).

This was the first of eight seasons that "League Awards", a precursor to the Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award (introduced in 1931), were issued. Only an American League award was given in 1922.
