The 2022 UT Martin Skyhawks football team represented University of Tennessee at Martin as a member of the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) during the 2022 NCAA Division I FCS football season. They were led by 17th-year head coach Jason Simpson and played their games at Graham Stadium in Martin, Tennessee.
Although UT Martin finished as OVC co-champions with Southeast Missouri State (both with 5–0 OVC records), Southeast Missouri State was awarded the automatic bid to the 2022 FCS playoffs while UT Martin was not.[1] Both teams had identical records in conference play, and no game had been played between the two teams that season, as a result of schedule changes to accommodate new member Lindenwood. The tiebreaker to determine an automatic conference bid ultimately then came down to a coin flip, which UT Martin lost.[1]
