The 2022 Montreal Alouettes season was the 55th season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 67th overall. The Alouettes finished second in their division, an improvement on their third place finish in 2021 and qualified for the playoffs for the third consecutive season following the team's week 19 victory over the Ottawa Redblacks.[1] However, after defeating the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the East Semi-Final, the team lost to the Toronto Argonauts in the East Final. The Alouettes held their training camp in Trois-Rivières at Stade Diablos.[2]

The 2022 CFL season was the third season for Khari Jones as the team's head coach and offensive coordinator.[3] However, he was fired after four games on July 6, 2022, where the team started with a 1–3 record.[4] He was replaced by the team's general manager, Danny Maciocia, who was entering his second season with the team.[5] The Alouettes also fired their defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach, Barron Miles, on July 6, 2022, and he was replaced by Noel Thorpe, who returned for his third stint with the club.[4]
