All statistics correct as of 10 December 2022.

The 2022 Erovnuli Liga 2 was the sixth season under its current title and the 34th season of second-tier football in Georgia. The four-round competition began on 1 March and ended on 2 December[1] with playoffs completed on 12 December.

Format

The winner gain automatic promotion to Erovnuli Liga, while the next two teams participate in play-offs against their top-flight rivals. After the initial 13 rounds, an extraordinary situation in late May resulted in early relegation of two clubs to the third tier. Among the remaining eight clubs the bottom two enter a play-off contest against 3rd and 4th teams of Liga 3 at the end of the season. A two-legged tie will be played at each side's home ground.[2] Each team played 28 matches in this shortened season.
