The 2022 AFF Championship (officially AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup 2022 due to sponsorship reasons) is the 14th edition of the AFF Championship, the football championship of nations affiliated to the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF), and is the 1st edition under the name AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup.

The final tournament is running from 20 December 2022 to 16 January 2023.

Thailand are the defending champions.
The AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup 2022 will follow the 2018 format, a change from the 2020 format with a centralized venue due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Southeast Asia.

In the current format, the nine highest ranked teams would automatically qualify with the 10th and 11th ranked teams playing in a two-legged qualifier. The 10 teams would be split in two groups of five and play a round robin system with each team playing two home and two away fixtures.[1]

A draw will be made to determine where the teams play while the format of the knockout round would remain unchanged.

Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (Indonesian: Stadion Utama Gelora Bung Karno; literally “Bung Karno Sports Arena Main Stadium”), formerly Senayan Main Stadium and Gelora Senayan Main Stadium, is a multi-purpose stadium located at the center of the Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex in Central Jakarta, Indonesia. It is mostly used for football matches. The stadium is named after Sukarno, the then-president of Indonesia, who sparked the idea of building the sports complex.

When first opened prior to the 1962 Asian Games, the stadium had a seating capacity of 110,000. It has been reduced twice during renovations: first to 88,306 in 2006 for the 2007 AFC Asian Cup and then to 77,193 single seats as part of renovations for the 2018 Asian Games and Asian Para Games, where it hosted the ceremonies and athletics competitions. The capacity of 88,083 makes it 7th largest association football stadium in the world. Due to the most recent renovation which saw all remaining bleachers replaced by single seats, it is the 28th largest association football stadium in the world and the 8th largest association football stadium in Asia.
