The qualifying session was held on 25 March 2022. Felipe Drugovich took pole position, the second of his Formula 2 career. The qualifying session was marred by three red flags. The first red flag came out for Théo Pourchaire, whose car broke down. A second red flag was flown after Logan Sargeant crashed heavily at the exit of turn 17. Oddly, a third red flag was shown due to a technical error after GPS systems indicated that Frederik Vesti stopped on track, despite no such event occurring.{{Cite web |first=Megan|last=White|date=2022-03-25|title=F2 Saudi Arabia: Drugovich takes pole in fragmented qualifying |url=https://www.motorsport.com/fia-f2/news/f2-saudi-arabia-drugovich-takes-pole-in-fragmented-qualifying-/9314267/ |access-date=2022-03-25 |website=Motorsport.com |language=en}} In addition, Cem Bölükbaşı crashed in practice and was taken to hospital for precautionary checks, and as a result missed qualifying.
