The 2022 season is the 103rd season of Syracuse University fielding a men's varsity soccer team. It was the program's 10th season in the Atlantic Coast Conference, and their 13th season with Ian McIntyre as the head coach of the program. Syracuse played their home matches at SU Soccer Stadium in Syracuse, New York.
The 2022 season was the most successful season in program history.
