The Braves entered the season as the defending World Series champions after defeating the Houston Astros in the 2021 Fall Classic and were attempting to become the first to repeat as champions since the 2000 New York Yankees.

On December 2, 2021, Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred announced a lockout of players, following the expiration of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between Major League Baseball (MLB) and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA). On March 10, 2022, MLB and the MLBPA agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement, ending the lockout. Opening Day was played on April 7.^[1] Although MLB originally announced that several series would be cancelled due to the lockout, the agreement ultimately provided for a full 162-game season, with originally cancelled games being made up via doubleheaders.^[2]

After a slow start in the first two months of the season, the Braves exploded in June, starting the month off with a 14-game winning streak. In their final series at home during the regular season, the Braves swept their division rivals, the New York Mets, taking a 2-game lead and the head-to-head tiebreaker over the team that once led them by 10.5 games for first place in the division. In their second-to-last game of the regular season, the Braves clinched the NL East for the fifth year in a row. This season marked the first time since 2003 that the Braves finished with more than 100 wins. However, they were upset by the Philadelphia Phillies in the Division Series, losing in four games.

The expiration of the league's collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the Major League Baseball Players Association occurred on December 1, 2021 with no new agreement in place.^[3] As a result, the team owners voted unanimously to lockout the players stopping all free agency and trades.^[4][5]

The parties came to an agreement on a new CBA on March 10, 2022.^[6]

Rule changes

Pursuant to the new CBA, several new rules were instituted for the 2022 season. The National League will adopt the designated hitter full-time, a draft lottery will be implemented, the postseason will expand from ten teams to twelve, and advertising patches will appear on player uniforms and helmets for the first time.^[7][8]
