The 2022 season was Kristiansund BK's 19th season in existence and the club's sixth consecutive season in the top flight of Norwegian football. In addition to the domestic league, Kristiansund BK participated in this season's edition of the Norwegian Football Cup.

The season was unique in that Kristiansund BK was relegated for the first time in the history of the club.

Ahead of the season, the team was widely tipped to avoid relegation and even challenge for a spot in European competitions. The local newspaper in Kristiansund, Tidens Krav, had them in 4th place in their pre-season tip.[1] Furthermore, Kristiansund was tipped in 6th place by Adresseavisen, Rogalands Avis and iTromsø;[2] [3] [4] in 7th place by Sandefjords Blad and Nordlys;[5] [6] in 8th place by Stavanger Aftenblad, Sunnmørsposten, Romerikes Blad and Hamar Arbeiderblad;[7] [8] [9] [10] in 9th place Dagbladet and Romsdals Budstikke;[11] [12] and 10th place by Verdens Gang, Drammens Tidende and Radio Metro.[13] [14] [15]

The season was particularly marred by instability in defense. The club went through a large number of central defenders. In April 2022, Dan Peter Ulvestad sustained a back prolapse and was out for several months. In early May, Aliou Coly tore a muscle and Max Normann Williamsen tore three ankle ligaments. Kristiansund resorted to a domestic youth loan, a loan transfer that is permitted outside of the transfer window, of Sigurd Kvile. He started the game against Haugesund together with Andreas Hopmark in central defense, but Kvile broke his collarbone after 11 minutes, and Hopmark was injured in extra time.[16] [17] Another defender was signed on a domestic youth loan, Aalesund's Nikolai Hopland, but in a move deemed as farcical by Kristiansund's staff, Hopland was recalled after only 12 days. Former 1. divisjon defender Marius Alm was picked up on a free transfer on 10 May, but released in early August as central defenders started to return from their injuries. As the injury situation again worsened in mid-August, Kristiansund resorted to signing former player Henrik Gjesdal.[18] The club also managed to loan Sigurd Kvile a second time.[19]
