The Bangladesh Premier League 2022, also known as BPL Season 8 or Bangabandhu BPL 2022 presented by BBS Cables and powered by Walton (for sponsorship reasons), was the eighth season of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), the top-level professional Twenty20 cricket league in Bangladesh, organized by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). The season was scheduled to start from March 2021. However, the tournament was postponed and rescheduled to be held from 21 January to 18 February 2022.

A franchise from Barisal was announced as taking part since Barisal Bulls played in 2016–17 Bangladesh Premier League. Comilla Victorians returned after the hiatus of one season. On 12 December 2021, all six teams were announced, with the exclusion of Rangpur Rangers and the defending champion Rajshahi Royals.

In the final match, Comilla Victorians defeated Fortune Barishal by 1 run to win their third BPL title. Comilla Victorians' bowling Alrounder Sunil Narine won Player of the match for his all-round performances and Fortune Barishal captain Shakib Al Hasan won Player of the Tournament award for his all-round performances. Will Jacks was the leading run scorer in the tournament with 414 runs while Mustafizur Rahman was the leading wicket-taker with 19 wickets.
