The 1922 NFL season was the third regular season of what was now called the National Football League (NFL); the league changed its name from American Professional Football Association (APFA) on June 24, 1922. Unlike the previous two years, when the league had existed as the American Professional Football Association, all teams beginning play in October under the league's banner would survive the season economically without having to terminate play for financial reasons.

A total of 75 games were played by the 18 teams of the league, with a claimed total attendance in excess of 400,000. The league championship was won by the Canton Bulldogs, the first of two back-to back titles.
