The 2022 Canada Soccer National Championships (officially the Toyota National Championships for sponsorship reasons) was the 98th staging of Canada Soccer's amateur football club competition. Gloucester Celtic FC won the Challenge Trophy after they beat Edmonton Green and Gold in the Canadian Final at North Maple Field in Vaughan on 10 October 2022.

Nine teams qualified to the final week of the 2022 National Championships in Vaughan. Teams played either three or four group matches before the medal and ranking matches on the last day.

On the road to the National Championships, Gloucester Celtic FC beat Caledon SC in the 2022 Ontario Cup Final.[1]

Each of Canada Soccer's thirteen provincial and territorial associations can send one representative to the Challenge Trophy, with teams generally qualifying through a regional preliminary series such as an open cup or league competition.[2]

For the 2022 tournament, ten provincial associations confirmed their participation. New Brunswick's Fredericton Picaroons withdrew from the tournament in September 2022, leaving nine provincial representatives.
