The 2022 Japanese motorcycle Grand Prix (officially known as the Motul Grand Prix of Japan) was the sixteenth round of the 2022 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. It was held at the Mobility Resort Motegi in Motegi on 25 September 2022.
The Grand Prix returned to Japan after absences in 2020 and 2021 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Unlike the other race weekends, on Friday there was only one free practice session for each class, with the consequence that the second was scheduled on Saturday morning. The combined classification for access in Q1 and Q2 was determined by the times of only FP1 and FP2 (which will last seventy-five minutes each), as already happened in this championship in the Indonesian Grand Prix. Consequently, the free practice session before MotoGP qualifying became FP3. [1]
In the MotoGP class, Takuya Tsuda, initially announced as a wild card with the Suzuki Ecstar Team, replaced the owner Joan Mir still suffering from an ankle injury; Tetsuta Nagashima ran wild for Team HRC. In the Moto2 class, in addition to the replacement of Gabriel Rodrigo in the Pertamina Mandalika SAG Team with the Japanese Taiga Hada, there was the return of Sam Lowes to the Elf Marc VDS Racing Team. In the Moto3 class, in addition to Nicola Carraro replacing Matteo Bertelle in the QJmotor Avintia Racing Team, there was also the replacement of the injured Alberto Surra in the Rivacold Snipers Team with the Japanese Kanta Hamada.

Izan Guevara's victory in Aragon, combined with the difficulties of Sergio García and Dennis Foggia (finished thirteenth and fourteenth) allows him to increase his advantage in the drivers' classification: the first is at 229 points, with the second and third following him respectively. with 196 and 171 points.
