The 2022 season in the Malaysia Super League was Negeri Sembilan's 10th season, while 99th year of its foundation. Since its establishment in 1923, Negeri Sembilan has won the Malaysia Cup several times. It has won the cup in 1948, 2009, and 2011. Along with the league, the club has also competed in the Malaysia Cup and Malaysia FA Cup in 2022.

Events

In December 2021, the club signed several new players. Among them were K. Sarkunan, Syihan Hazmi, Hérold Goulon, Matheus Alves, David Mawutor, Khuzaimi Pie, A. Namathevan, Izzuddin Roslan, Khair Jones, Che Rashid Che Halim, Sean Selvaraj, Gustavo, Izaffiq Ruzi, Hariz Kamarudin, Omid Nazari and Kossi Adetu.^[1]

Negeri Sembilan FC performed brilliantly by successfully creating an unbeaten record throughout the 6 Malaysia Super League games since the league was started. Negeri Sembilan FC managed to be at the top of the league for a week. However, on 11 May 2022, their clean sheet was broken by the Johor Darul Ta'zim FC team after the Negeri Sembilan FC team was defeated with a result of 1–0.^[2]

On 13 June 2022, two foreign players, David Mawutor and Kossi Adetu were replaced with Gustavo and Yashir Pinto during mid season transfer.^[3]
