After reaching the division semifinals in their previous campaign, Zamboanga opened their 2022 season with an eight-game winning streak. This would be followed by a stretch of three consecutive losses, which would become the only losses of their entire regular season run. The Family's Brand Sardines then finished with a ten-game winning streak to cap off with an 18–3 record and the top seed in the South Division.
After sweeping Muntinlupa and then defeating Bacolod in a three-game series, Zamboanga faced against the Batangas City Embassy Chill for the third consecutive season.[1][2] Despite losing game 1 at home, Zamboanga would then win the next two games, with a close win in game 3 clinching their spot in the 2022 national finals against the Nueva Ecija Rice Vanguards.[3] Down 0–2, Zamboanga came home to win game 3 of the series, but would ultimately lose game 4, ending their chances at a championship.[4]
The team played all of their home games this season at the Mayor Vitaliano D. Agan Coliseum in Zamboanga City.
