The2022 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup was the 107th edition of theU.S. Open Cup, a knockout cup competition in American soccer. After the 2020 and 2021 competitions were suspended and ultimately canceled due to theCOVID-19 pandemic, theUnited States Soccer Federation announced that the 2022 edition would run from March to mid-September of that year.[2] The 2022 field features 103 clubs, 71 of them fully professional—both modern-era records.[3]
On December 22, 2021, U.S. Soccer announced the final format for the 2022 tournament, with two major changes from prior editions. First, all eligible Division II and Division III professional teams entered the second round. Second,Major League Soccer had their teams entry staggered: Seventeen MLS teams entered the Third Round, and the remaining eight teams (the four playing in the2022 CONCACAF Champions League, and the next highest two teams in both the Eastern and Western Conferences) entered the Round of 32.[4]
For the first time since2017, multiple leagues from the same division competed in the Open Cup.USL League One, of Division III, competed alongside teams fromMLS Next Pro and theNational Independent Soccer Association (NISA). NISA was set to make its Open Cup debut in 2020, before that tournament was canceled; MLS Next Pro was established in 2021, and while primarily a developmental league for MLS teams, its independent clubs are eligible for the Open Cup.
Atlanta United FC was the defending champion, when Atlanta won the2019 tournament, but was eliminated in the Round of 32 byNashville SC.
Orlando City SC won their first Open Cup title, defeatingSacramento Republic FC 3–0 in thefinal.

A total of 35 states and the District of Columbia are represented by clubs in the U.S. Open Cup this year.
States without a team in the Open Cup: Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
31 teams played in their first Open Cup tournament in 2022.
Due to their league's scheduling, Northern Colorado Hailstorm FC's 1-0 victory in the Second Round was the first time in the U.S. Open Cup's modern era that a club recorded their first-ever competitive match, goal, and victory in the Open Cup.
In the First round, teams (local,National Amateur Cup,NPSL, &USL2) were paired in a geographical manner, pitting teams closer together against each other. Once the First round pairings were made those pairings were matched with a Division II (USLC) or a Division III (MLS Next Pro,NISA, orUSL1) team in a geographical manner for the Second round. Division II & III teams that remained unmatched were matched together, again geographically, avoiding any same-division matching (e.g., no II vs II or III vs III).[3]
The complete draw for the First round, including match dates and times, was announced on February 2, 2022.[8] Draws for the Second round were announced on February 11; match dates and times were announced on February 28.[9][10]

The winners of the second round and the new entrants to the tournament were grouped geographically into groups of four (12 groups) or six (eight groups), depending on the distribution of teams after the second round. Division I (MLS) teams entering the tournament were spread among the groups as evenly as possible (groups of four: five groups with two and seven groups with one MLS team; groups of six: one group with three and seven groups with two MLS teams). All MLS teams faced a lower-division team. Random selection for each group determined the pairs. Instances where geographical fit didn't exist when creating groups was resolved by random selection.[3]
