The 2022 Incarnate Word Cardinals football team represented the University of the Incarnate Word (UIW) as a member of the Southland Conference during the 2022 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Cardinals played their home games at Gayle and Tom Benson Stadium in San Antonio, Texas. They were led by first-year head coach G. J. Kinne.

On June 24, 2022, Incarnate Word announced that they would remain in the Southland Conference days before they were to transition to the Western Athletic Conference (WAC).[1] Previously in November 2021, the program announced the move of the athletics to the WAC for the 2022 season.[2]

Previous season

The Cardinals finished the 2021 season with a 10–3 overall record, 7–1 in Southland play, to win the Southland Conference championship, their second conference title. They received the Southland's automatic bid to the FCS Playoffs where they defeated Stephen F. Austin in the first round, only to lose in the second round to No. 1 seeded Sam Houston State.[3]
