The 2022 National League Championship Series was the best-of-seven playoff in Major League Baseball’s (MLB) 2022 postseason between the fifth-seeded San Diego Padres and the sixth-seeded Philadelphia Phillies for the National League (NL) pennant and the right to play in the 2022 World Series.

The series began on October 18 and ended on October 23. Fox and FS1 televised the games in the U.S. This was the first time in Major League history that two Wild Card teams faced each other in the League Championship Series (prior to 2022, only one Wild Card team per league could advance to the Division Series; as such, two Wild Card teams couldn't face each other in the LCS in a full season until 2022). This was also the first time in Major League history that playoff rounds overlapped, as the 2022 ALDS had a game the same day the NLCS began.
