A 34-game regular season will be played from March 11 to Oct. 15, 2022. Every team will play each of its conference foes twice – once at home, once away. For Western Conference clubs, the remaining 10 games will be against a combination of interconference and intraconference opponents – five at home, five away. At the conclusion of the regular season, the top seven teams in each conference will qualify for the 2022 USL Championship Playoffs.

The first overall seed in each conference will receive a bye to the Conference Semifinals of the playoffs. The bracket will be reseeded following the Conference Quarterfinals to ensure the first overall seed in each conference plays against the lowest-seeded remaining opponent. The USL Championship Playoffs will remain a single-elimination format, culminating in the 2022 USL Championship Final on a date to be determined between Nov. 10 and Nov. 14, 2022.
