Canadian Football League draft
The 2022 CFL global draft was a selection of non-Canadian and non-American players by Canadian Football League (CFL) teams that took place on May 3, 2022. It was the second CFL draft that pools all of the global players together after previously having separate drafts for Mexican players and European players in 2019. 27 players were chosen from among eligible players following the CFL Combine in March. Similar to the previous year's draft, this was a snake draft with the even-numbered rounds being the reverse order of the odd-numbered rounds.
The draft was streamed on CFL.ca and was hosted by Marshall Ferguson and the CFL's Head of Football Operations, Greg Dick.
