The 2022 Dinos de Saltillo season was the Dinos de Saltillo sixth season in the Liga de Fútbol Americano Profesional (LFA) and their fourth under head coach Javier Adame. After the 2021 season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Dinos returned to play in 2022.{{cite web|title=Nos vemos en el 2022; LFA cancela de nuevo su temporada|url=https://maximoavance.com/2021/04/nos-vemos-en-el-2022-lfa-cancela-de-nuevo-su-temporada/|website=Máximo Avance|first=Gabriel|last=Pacheco|date=8 April 2021|access-date=5 May 2022|language=es}}

After playing for six years in the Estadio Olímpico Francisco I. Madero, the Dinos moved to the Estadio Francisco I. Madero, home to the Mexican League team Saraperos de Saltillo, after an agreement between the two clubs.{{cite web|title=Dinos de Saltillo presenta su temporada 2022|url=https://www.elsiglodetorreon.com.mx/noticia/2022/dinos-de-saltillo-presenta-su-temporada-2022.html|website=El Siglo de Torreón|first=Aarón|last=Arguijo|date=21 January 2022|access-date=5 May 2022|language=es}}

Dinos finished the regular season as the first classified team with a 5–1 record. On the last game against the Raptors, Dinos missed the chance to become the first team ever to finish the regular season with a perfect record, when in the last play of the game, Raptors' quarterback Bruno Márquez scored a two point conversion to win the game 28–27.{{cite web|title=Raptors vs Dinos|url=https://lfa.mx/partido/raptors-vs-dinos-2022/|website=LFA|date=10 April 2022|access-date=5 May 2022|language=es}}
