The 2022 Saudi Super Cup (also known as The Berain Saudi Super Cup for sponsorship reasons) was the 9th edition of the Saudi Super Cup, an annual football competition for clubs in the Saudi Arabia football league system that were successful in its major competitions in the preceding season.
On 19 February 2022, it was announced that the competition would be changed from a two-team format to four teams, which would include a semi-final round. The winners and runners-up of the Saudi Pro League and the King Cup would take part in the competition.[2] The semi-final round was played on 26 January 2023, and the final was held on 29 January.[3][4]
Al-Ittihad defeated Al-Fayha 2–0 in the final to win their first title.[5]
