# 2022 Pasig City MCW Sports season

The 2022 Pasig City MCW Sports season was the third season of the franchise in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL).
Initially starting the season as simply Pasig City, the team first tallied a 6–5 record before going on a seven-game winning streak to lift them up to 13–5. Their 13th win on September 24 also surpassed their previous 18–12 campaign in win percentage. Pasig City finished the season as one of three teams to finish 14–7 in a tie for second place in the North Division. Pasig City would claim that position by tiebreaker criteria.
The team began their playoff run with a sweep against Quezon City MG before taking on the San Juan Knights in the Division Semifinals, who they would be swept by.
The team only played one home game this season, during the playoffs on October 18, moving away from Pasig Sports Center and setting up shop at Ynares Sports Arena.
