On 28 August 2021, Sylvie Tellier confirmed that the annual overseas trip for the delegates would return if COVID-19 restrictions allowed for it, with the delegates visiting Réunion.{{cite web|url=https://www.zinfos974.com/Dana-Virin-est-elue-Miss-Reunion-2021_a172728.html|title=Dana Virin est élue Miss Réunion 2021|date=28 August 2021|language=French|work=zinfos974}} They ultimately did visit Réunion for a variety of events, before going to Caen to begin rehearsals.{{cite web|url=https://www.linfo.re/la-reunion/societe/miss-france-2022-dana-virin-triste-de-quitter-son-ile-mais-motivee-pour-l-election|title=Miss France 2022 : Dana Virin triste de quitter son île, mais motivée pour l’élection !|date=26 November 2021|website=linfo.re|language=French}}

After having withdrawn from the 2021 edition due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Tahiti returned to the competition.{{cite web |language=fr-FR |first=Caroline |last=Perdrix |title=L'élection Miss Tahiti 2020 est annulée |trans-title= The selection of Miss Tahiti 2020 is cancelled | url=https://www.radio1.pf/lelection-miss-tahiti-2020-est-annulee/ |work=Radio1 Tahiti |date=2020-06-27 |accessdate=2020-06-27}} However, Wallis and Futuna withdrew from the competition, after having returned for the first time since 2005 in the 2021 edition. In September 2021, the committee confirmed through their Facebook account that their withdrawal was due to the COVID-19 pandemic in New Caledonia, where the regional committee for Wallis and Futuna was headquartered.{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/cmisswf/posts/1021315312027492|title=Compte tenu du contexte sanitaire des derniers mois et en ce moment en Nouvelle Calédonie, le comité Miss Wallis et Futuna a décidé d'annuler l'élection de notre ambassadrice pour l'année 2021.|work=Comité Miss Wallis-et-Futuna|date=14 September 2021|language=French|trans-title=Given the health context of the last months and currently in New Caledonia, the Miss Wallis and Futuna Committee has decided to cancel the election of our ambassador for the year 2021}}
On 17 November, it was confirmed in a press conference that the 29 contestants would be given labour contracts for the first time, amidst controversy regarding the labour laws and unpaid nature of taking part in the competition in past years.{{cite web|url=https://www.20minutes.fr/arts-stars/television/3174447-20211117-miss-france-2022-29-miss-contrats-travail-annonce-alexia-laroche-joubert|title=Miss France 2022: « Les 29 Miss auront des contrats de travail », annonce Alexia Laroche-Joubert|date=17 November 2021|language=French|work=20 minutes}}

=Scoring=
==Preliminaries==
A jury composed of partners (internal and external) of the Miss France Committee selected fifteen delegates during an interview that took place on 8 December to advance to the semifinals.
==Top 15==
In the top fifteen, a 50/50 split vote between the official jury and voting public selected five delegates to advance to the top five. Each delegate was awarded an overall score of 1 to 15 from the jury and public, and the five delegates with the highest combined scores advanced to the top five. The delegates with the sixth and seventh highest combined scores were afterwards designated as the fifth and sixth runners-up, respectively, despite not advancing in the competition. In the case of a tie, the jury vote prevailed.

==Top five==
In the top five, a 50/50 split vote between the official jury and voting public determined which contestant was declared Miss France. This was the second year that voting was conducted this way, following a rule change in the 2021 edition. Each contestant was ranked from first to fifth by the jury and public, and the two scores were combined to create a total score. In the case of a tie, the public vote prevailed. If this rule change had not occurred, Martinique would have won, while Alsace would have been first runner-up, followed by Île-de-France, Tahiti, and then Normandy.
