The 2022 LCK season was the 11th season of the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK), a South Korean professional esports league for the MOBA PC game League of Legends. The season was divided into two splits: Spring and Summer. The Spring Split began on 12 January and culminated with the Spring Split Final on 2 April 2022. The Summer Split began on 15 June and culminated with the Summer Split Final on 28 August 2022.

T1 won the Spring Split, qualifying them for the 2022 Mid-Season Invitational. Gen.G won the Summer Split, directly qualifying them for the 2022 World Championship. T1 qualified for the 2022 World Championship via Championship Points, while both DWG KIA and DRX also qualified for the 2022 World Championship through the regional qualifier.
