The 2022 FIA World Rally Championship is the fiftieth season of the World Rally Championship, an auto racing competition recognised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) as the highest class of international rallying.

Teams and crews compete for the World Rally Championships for Drivers, Co-drivers, Manufacturers and Teams. Crews are free to compete in cars complying with Groups Rally1 to Rally5 regulations; however, only manufacturers competing with Rally1 cars homologated under radically new regulations are eligible to score points in the manufacturers' championship.

The championship began in January 2022 with the Rallye Monte-Carlo and is expected to conclude in November 2022 with Rally Japan. The series is supported by the World Rally Championship-2 and World Rally Championship-3 classes at every round of the championship with the junior

category at selected events.
