The 2022 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team represented the University of Nebraska as a member of the West Division of the Big Ten Conference during the 2022 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The team played their home games at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska.

After starting the season with two losses in their first three games, head coach Scott Frost was fired on September 11; receivers coach and associate head coach Mickey Joseph was named interim head coach for the remainder of the season.[1] The following week, after having given up nearly school record number of yards to opposing offenses in back-to-back weeks, Nebraska dismissed defensive coordinator Erik Chinander and promoted assistant Bill Busch to the position for the remainder of the season.[2]

On November 26, 2022, Nebraska announced the hiring of Matt Rhule to become the 31st head coach of the Nebraska football program.[3]
