The 2022 Manly Warringah Sea Eagles season was the 73rd in the clubs history since their entry to the New South Wales Rugby League premiership in 1947. Des Hasler coached the club for the fourth consecutive year and twelfth overall. Daly Cherry-Evans captained the club for the sixth consecutive year. Pointsbet became the new major sponsor for the club taking over URM who moved onto a premier partner role. [1] The season was notable for an incident when seven players boycotted the round 20 match against the Sydney Roosters due to their refusal to wear the club's "pride" jersey.

Brookvale Oval Upgrade

A new 3000 seat grandstand on the Northern end of the ground opened to spectators in March 2022. [2] It will provide training facilities for players as well. With the new grandstand and no COVID-19 restrictions, the ground returned back to full capacity for the first time since Round 1, 2020.
