The 2022 Orange County SC season was the club's eleventh season of existence, and their eleventh consecutive season in the United Soccer League Championship, the second tier of American soccer.
Orange County came into the 2022 season the reigning champions of the USL Championship, after beating the Tampa Bay Rowdies to win the 2021 USL Championship Playoffs.[1][2] However, the team failed to replicate their championship season, only winning seven games all season and placing last in the Western Conference with a record of 7–13–14.[3][4]
At the end of the season, despite having one of the worst records in the league, starting forward Milan Iloski, with 22 league goals,[5] won the USL Championship Golden Boot award for scoring the most goals in the 2022 season.[6][7]
