2022 Cambodian Premier League is the 36th season of the Cambodian Premier League, the top Cambodian professional league for association football clubs, since its establishment in 1982.

Eight teams will be competing in a triple round-robin match. 5 teams that are National Police Commissary, Asia Euro United, Electricite du Cambodge, Prey Veng, and Soltilo Angkor are relegated to the Cambodian League 2 because they did not fulfill the Cambodian Football League Company's requirements. The season began on 5 March 2022.[1]

Phnom Penh Crown were the defending champions and successfully defended their title, winning their 2nd consecutive title and 8th title overall.

Controversies

[edit]

After Angkor Tiger supporters threw bottles at the referee in protest of his choice not to award a penalty to their teams against Preah Khan Reach Svay Rieng on Matchday 13, they were prohibited from competing at their home stadium. The decision was overturned, however, as Angkor Tiger was permitted to play in their home stadium but spectators were prohibited from attending and the clubs were required to pay a fine.[2]
