The 2022 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Volleyball Tournament was a postseason men's volleyball tournament for the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation during the 2022 NCAA Division I & II men's volleyball season. It was held April 20 through April 23, 2022 at the #1 seed's home arena, Pauley Pavilion on the campus of UCLA. All games were streamed live on FloVolleyball.[1]

The winner received The Federation's automatic bid to the 2022 NCAA Volleyball Tournament, to be held at Pauley Pavilion.

Seeds[edit]

All seven teams are eligible for the postseason, with the #1 seed receiving a bye to the semifinals. Teams are seeded by record within the conference, with a tiebreaker system to seed teams with identical conference records. The #1 seed will play the lowest remaining seed in the semifinals.

Should a team be unable to play a match due to COVID-19, it will count as a loss in the conference standings, and it will be used to determine MPSF Tournament seeding.[2]
