The 2022 Houston Dynamo season is the 17th season of the team's existence since joining Major League Soccer (MLS) prior to the 2006 season. The Dynamo missed the playoffs in 2021 for the 7th time in 8 years.

It is the first season with head coach Paulo Nagamura, who was hired on January 3.[1] 2022 is the Dynamo's first season under General Manager Pat Onstad, who was hired with 1 game remaining in the 2021 season.[2] Asher Mendelsohn was hired as technical director on January 3.[3] On the front office end, it is Ted Segal's second season (first full season) as majority owner and John Walker's fourth season as President of Business Operations. On August 25, Ted Segal bought the remaining shares owned by Oscar De La Hoya, Gabriel Brener, and Ben Guill. Lyle Ayes also joined the ownership group[4]

On September 5, with the team last in the Western Conference through 29 games, Paulo Nagamura was fired as head coach. Dynamo 2 head coach Kenny Bundy was named interim head coach for the final 5 games.[5]
