It was the club's men's team's 126th season as a member of the Australian Football League, and the first under new senior coach Michael Voss. The club finished ninth with a 12–10 record, just barely missing the finals on percentage by 0.6%pts – its best performance since 2013, but also a disappointing finish after having been positioned third with an 8–2 record halfway through the season. Carlton players won both of the league's major individual awards for the season: Patrick Cripps winning the Brownlow Medal as fairest and best, and Charlie Curnow winning the Coleman Medal as leading goalkicker with 64 goals.
Due to a change to the AFL Women's timing in the calendar year, the club's women's team contested two distinct seasons as part of the 2022 campaign. In season 6, held between January and April, the team finished eighth out of fourteen teams with a record of 4–6; and in season 7, held between August and November, the team finished fourteenth out of eighteen teams with a record of 2–6–2 – thereby missing the finals in both seasons.
The club also fielded its men's reserves team in the Victorian Football League and its state level women's team in the VFL Women's.
