The 2022 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Philippine Cup Finals was a best-of-7 championship series of the 2022 PBA Philippine Cup, and the conclusion of the conference's playoffs. The San Miguel Beermen and the TNT Tropang Giga competed for the 44th Philippine Cup championship and the 131st overall championship contested by the league.

A rematch of the 2019 Commissioner's Cup Finals, where the 7-seeded Beermen upset the top-seeded TNT Tropang Giga (then known as TNT KaTropa), San Miguel defeated TNT in seven hard-fought games to win their 28th title in franchise history. Having previously defeated the Magnolia Hotshots last year, TNT entered the series as the defending Philippine Cup champions. June Mar Fajardo was named the Finals MVP for this series.

The TNT entered the game without Chot Reyes, who was out due to health and safety protocols.[3] Starting center Poy Erram was ejected with 55 seconds left in the second quarter after hitting Mo Tautuaa's head during a foul.

After trailing 84–89 by the end of the 3rd quarter, San Miguel used a 17–0 run at the start of the 4th quarter to clinch their 28th title overall, and 9th title under coach Leo Austria. This fourth quarter rally is led by CJ Perez's 25 points in the game. San Miguel won their 6th Philippine Cup title in the past 8 years. They previously have won five straight Philippine Cup titles from 2015 to 2019.[4]
