Orange County came into the 2022 season the reigning champions of the USL Championship, after beating the Tampa Bay Rowdies to win the 2021 USL Championship Playoffs.[1][2] However, the team failed to replicate their championship season, only winning seven games all season and placing last in the Western Conference with a record of 7–13–14.[3][4]

At the end of the season, despite having one of the worst records in the league, starting forward Milan Iloski, with 22 league goals,[5] won the USL Championship Golden Boot award for scoring the most goals in the 2022 season.[6][7]
