The 2022 Hawaii Rainbow Warriors football team represented the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa in the 2022 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Led by first-year head coach Timmy Chang, the Rainbow Warriors played their home games at the Clarence T. C. Ching Athletics Complex as members of the West Division of the Mountain West Conference.
Schedule
The home opener against Vanderbilt was the first sold-out home game since 2007, when the Rainbow Warriors played in front of two consecutive sellouts against Boise State and Washington. Hawai'i's subsequent home game against Western Kentucky was also sold out, marking the first time since 2007 that consecutive sellouts were recorded.
