The 2022 Première ligue de soccer du Québec season was the eleventh season of play for the Première ligue de soccer du Québec, a Division 3 semi-professional soccer league in the Canadian soccer pyramid and the highest level of soccer based in the Canadian province of Québec.

FC Laval won their first league title and qualified for the 2023 Canadian Championship, while AS Blainville won the Coupe PLSQ for the third time. CS Mont-Royal Outremont competed in the 2022 Canadian Championship as the league's representative as 2021 league champions.[1]

Changes from 2021

The 2022 season will have its greatest number of participating teams with 12 teams. CS Saint-Laurent and the CF Montréal U23 join as expansion franchises.[2][3] CS Lanaudière-Nord (who previously competed in the PLSQ until 2015 as FC L'Assomption-Lanaudière prior to their merger with ARS Laser) returns to the league, replacing the district team FC Lanaudière.[4] CS Monteuil became AS Laval following a merger with another non-PLSQ club.[5] Ottawa South United will return to the league full-time after being forced to withdraw midway through the 2021 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Each team will play each other home and away for a 22 match season. The league champion will qualify for the 2023 Canadian Championship and the top four teams will qualify for the Coupe PLSQ.[6]
