The 2022 LA Galaxy season was the club's 27th season of existence, and their 27th in Major League Soccer, the top-tier of the American soccer pyramid. LA Galaxy played its home matches at Dignity Health Sports Park in the LA suburb of Carson, California. The Galaxy attempted to make the playoffs after failing to qualify in 2021, also attempted to win their MLS leading 6th MLS Cup, and make their first appearance in the MLS Cup since 2014.

Background

The 2021 season was the Galaxy's 26th season of existence, and their first under manager, Greg Vanney, who was appointed manager during the 2020–21 offseason following the sacking of Guillermo Barros Schelotto. Early on in the season, the Galaxy started off with an 8–4–0 record, with striker Javier Hernández leading the club in scoring with 11 goals. However, a mixture of injuries and poor form caused the club go on a skid during the summer, and ultimately, on the final day of the season, failing to qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs for the second-consecutive season. It marked the third time in the past four seasons that the Galaxy failed to qualify for the playoffs.

Outside of MLS, the Galaxy had planned to participate in the 2021 U.S. Open Cup, which featured a modified qualification method due to COVID-19 pandemic. The method involves the eight MLS clubs with the best regular season records after three matches qualifying for the tournament. By this method, the Galaxy had the seventh best record and qualified. However, the tournament was ultimately canceled by U.S. Soccer due to logistical challenges faced by lower league clubs.
