The
men's overall in the
2022 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup
consisted of 37 events in 5 disciplines: downhill, Super-G, giant slalom, slalom, and parallel. The sixth discipline, Alpine combined, had all of its events in the 2021?22 season cancelled due to the schedule disruption cased by the
COVID-19 pandemic
, which also happened in 2020?21. The schedules were also revamped as a consequence of the pandemic, thus ensuring that the combined number of speed races (18, consisting of 11 downhills and 7 Super-Gs) was the same as the combined number of technical races (18, consisting of 10 slaloms and 8 giant slaloms), with just one parallel race.
