# 2022 U Sports Men's Volleyball Championship

The 2022 U Sports Men's Volleyball Championship was held March 25–27, 2022, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, to determine a national champion for the 2021–22 U Sports men's volleyball season. The third-seeded Alberta Golden Bears defeated the top-seeded Trinity Western Spartans in a re-match of the Canada West Championship game as the Golden Bears won the ninth national championship in program history.

## Host

The tournament was played at Investors Group Athletic Centre at the University of Manitoba. This was the second time that Manitoba had hosted the tournament with the other occurring in 1978. Manitoba had previously been awarded the hosting duties for the 2020 championship, but that event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada.
