The 2022 Cambodian League 2 is the 5th season of the Cambodian League 2, second-tier football league for association football clubs in Cambodia. A total of 12 football clubs are competing in the league. Electricite du Cambodge are the champion of the 2022 season; however, they are not met the requirement of national club licensing criteria alongside the third place National Police and the fourth place Koh Kong. Thus, they're ineligible for promotion. That leaves the runner up ISI Dangkor Senchey and the fifth place Prey Veng to be promoted for Cambodian Premier League next season.
