The 2022 Viterra Championship, Manitoba's provincial men's curling championship, was held from February 9 to 13 at the Selkirk Curling Club in Selkirk. The winning Mike McEwen represented Manitoba at the 2022 Tim Hortons Brier.[1]

The event was originally supposed to begin on January 25, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Manitoba.[2] Its new dates in February were later green lit by provincial health officials, in January 2022, and will not be cancelled as the 2021 edition had been due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Manitoba.[3] The event was also originally going to be played at the Selkirk Recreation Complex, but was moved to the Selkirk Curling Club. The event only had 28 teams instead of the regular 32, as the last four qualifying spots could not be filled due to event cancellations due to the pandemic.[4]
