The 2022 J1 League, also known as the 2022 Meiji Yasuda J1 League (Japanese: 2022 明治安田生命J1リーグ, Hepburn: 2022 Meiji Yasuda Seimei J1 Rīgu) for sponsorship reasons, was the 30th season of the J1 League, the top Japanese professional league for association football clubs, since its establishment in 1992. This was eighth season of J1 League as renamed from J. League Division 1.
Kawasaki Frontale were the defending champions, having won their fourth and second consecutive title in 2021 with four rounds to play.[2] Yokohama F. Marinos reclaimed the trophy, winning its fifth J.League and seventh Japanese title on the final day of the season.[3][4] Brazilian forward Thiago Santana scored 14 goals for Shimizu S-Pulse, the least number of goals from a player who became the league top scorer and the first to also suffer relegation in the same season.
