The 2022 U Sports Men's Volleyball Championship was held March 25–27, 2022, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, to determine a national champion for the 2021–22 U Sports men's volleyball season.[2] The third-seeded Alberta Golden Bears defeated the top-seeded Trinity Western Spartans in a re-match of the Canada West Championship game as the Golden Bears won the ninth national championship in program history.[3]
The tournament was played at Investors Group Athletic Centre at the University of Manitoba.[2] This was the second time that Manitoba had hosted the tournament with the other occurring in 1978.[4] Manitoba had previously been awarded the hosting duties for the 2020 championship, but that event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada.[5]
