2022 J.League Cup#Final

All 18 teams in the 2022 J1 League participated as well as the top two relegated teams from the 2021 league. Four clubs involved in the 2022 AFC Champions League received byes for the group and play-off stages: Kawasaki Frontale, Yokohama F. Marinos, Vissel Kobe, and Urawa Red Diamonds.

Sixteen teams played in the group stage. They were divided into four groups of four teams by their finish on the 2021 J1 and J2 Leagues (parenthesized below).

• Group A: Kashima Antlers (J1 4th), Cerezo Osaka (J1 12th), Gamba Osaka (J1 13th), Oita Trinita (J1 18th).
• Group B: Nagoya Grampus (J1 5th), Sanfrecce Hiroshima (J1 11th), Shimizu S-Pulse (J1 14th), Tokushima Vortis (J1 17th).
• Group C: Sagan Tosu (J1 7th), Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo (J1 10th), Kashiwa Reysol (J1 15th), Kyoto Sanga (J2 2nd).
• Group D: Avispa Fukuoka (J1 8th), FC Tokyo (J1 9th), Shonan Bellmare (J1 16th), Júbilo Iwata (J2 1st).

Each group were played on a home-and-away round-robin basis. Each match were played in 90 minutes. Each team played six times, twice against each opponent at home and away.

All times listed are in Japan Standard Time (JST, UTC+9).

In the group stage, teams in a group were ranked by points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If the points were tied, the following tiebreakers were applied accordingly:

1. Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
4. Away goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;

If more than two teams were tied, and applying all head-to-head criteria above remains a part of teams still tied, reapply the criteria above only for the tied teams.

1. Goal difference in all group matches;
2. Goals scored in all group matches;
3. Penalty shoot-out if only two teams are tied and they meet in the last round of the group;
4. Fewer disciplinary points;
5. Drawing of lots.
