# 2022 Hull FC season

In the 2022 rugby league season, Hull F.C. competed in Super League XXVII and the 2022 Challenge Cup. They were coached by Brett Hodgson.

## Season review

On 13 February, Hull began their Super League campaign with a 16–12 away win at Wakefield Trinity before suffering a 38–6 loss to St Helens. An inconsistent first half of the season ensued with a win over Salford Red Devils and loss at Castleford Tigers followed by a run of three wins which included a Challenge Cup victory over Sheffield Eagles. A run of three losses followed, beginning with a golden point 19–18 loss to Wigan Warriors in the league, a quarter-final cup defeat to Huddersfield Giants and a visit to local rivals Hull Kingston Rovers, but this was countered by three more wins in late April. Hull had a poor second half of the season, failing to win during June and with only two wins in July; a 34–28 win against Hull KR at the Magic Weekend, and 30–6 win over Toulouse Olympique. In August, Hull had a run of four defeats before again facing Toulouse to record a 28–12 win and then ended their season with a 36–4 loss to Hull KR.
