The 1882 Detroit Wolverines finished the season with a 42–41 record, good for fifth place in the National League.

During the season, Detroit owner William G. Thompson had a private investigator look into umpire Richard Higham, after suspicions of matchfixing, which resulted in Higham becoming the only umpire to be banned in MLB history.
