The 2022 NAIA flag football season was the component of the 2022 college football season organized by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) in the United States. It was the second season of the NAIA sponsoring flag football as a varsity women's sport, in contrast with traditional, full-contact college football which is played almost exclusively by men.[1] Contracting from 15 to 13 schools playing in this season, it remained classified an "emerging" sport by the NAIA.[2] A postseason tournament was held at Mercedes-Benz Stadium with the Ottawa Braves claiming their second title.[3][4]
