In 2022, Warrington Wolves played in their 27th consecutive season in the Super League and their 19th season at the Halliwell Jones Stadium. Warrington were coached by Daryl Powell and they competed in both Super League XXVII and the 2022 Challenge Cup.

Season review

On 12 February, Warrington began their Super League campaign with a 22–20 away win at Leeds Rhinos[1] which was followed with wins over Castleford Tigers[2] and Toulouse Olympique.[3] The run of wins ended when their first loss came against Catalans Dragons in Round 4[4] and they failed to record consecutive wins for the rest of the season.[5] Warrington were knocked out of the Challenge Cup at the end of March after losing to a Wakefield Trinity side that had also beaten them in the league in the previous match.[6] After a win over Huddersfield Giants in April, Warrington went on a run of five losses before defeating Hull F.C. 4–0 in late June.[7] [8] A 32–18 victory over Toulouse in mid-August helped Warrington to maintain their gap over the bottom of the table team.[9] Warrington finished their season with 32–14 win over Salford Red Devils.[10]
