Overall champions
Marco Odermatt became the first Swiss skier to win an overall World Cup title since Carlo Janka in 2009–10.
Mikaela Shiffrin won her fourth overall World Cup title in history.

This season began in October 2021 in Sölden, Austria, and concluded in mid-March 2022 at the finals in Courchevel/Méribel, France. It was interrupted for most of February by the Winter Olympics in Beijing, China; events were held at Xiaohaituo Alpine Skiing Field.

Alexis Pinturault and Petra Vlhová were the defending overall champions, but first-time overall winner Marco Odermatt won the 2022 men's championship with three races to go and Mikaela Shiffrin won the 2022 women's championship for her fourth overall title with two races to go.

For the first time in the history of the World Cup, either for men or for women, Beaver Creek is hosting four speed events four days in a row, with two downhills and two super giant slaloms. Ultimately, though, one of those races was cancelled by bad weather.

For the first time in almost four years (28 January 2018, Lenzerheide) Mikaela Shiffrin didn't finish her second run (SL in Kranjska Gora). With her 47th slalom victory on 11 January in Schladming, Shiffrin set a new all-time record for victories in any single discipline in the history of the World Cup, surpassing Ingemar Stenmark and his 46 wins in the giant slalom.

Austrian skier Johannes Strolz became the 300th different race winner in men's World Cup history by taking his first career win (SL) at Adelboden.

An oddity occurred when Lucas Braathen won the slalom in Wengen after being in 29th place after the first run.

Dave Ryding, after winning the slalom in Kitzbühel, became the first British skier ever to win a World Cup event and at 35 years old, the oldest first-time World Cup winner.

On 1 March 2022, following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, FIS decided to exclude athletes from Russia and Belarus from FIS competitions, with an immediate effect.[2]
