The 2022 UT Permian Basin Falcons football team represented the University of Texas Permian Basin (UTPB) in the 2022 NCAA Division II football season as a member of the Lone Star Conference (LSC). The team played its home games at Astound Broadband Stadium in Midland, Texas while Ratliff Stadium in Odessa hosted two home games. The Falcons were led by seventh-year head coach Justin Carrigan. On November 28, Carrigan announced that he would be stepping down as the program's head coach. The following day it was announced he would be stepping into an administrative role, being named the university's deputy athletic director. ^[1]

The 2022 season marked the first season in program history where the program was fully funded with 36 scholarships. The Falcons previously only had 12 scholarships available per season from 2016 to 2021. ^[2]

Preseason

LSC media poll

In the LSC's preseason poll, the Falcons were predicted to finish fifth in the conference, and they also received two first-place votes. ^[3]
