The 2022 MPBL playoffs, or the MPBL Mumbaki Cup Playoffs, was the postseason tournament of the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League's 2022 season, the league's fourth overall, and the third under the 16-team format. The postseason tournament began on October 15, 2022, two days after the end of the regular season on October 13, 2022, and concluded on December 12, 2022, following the conclusion of the 2022 MPBL Finals.

The Finals saw North Division champions Nueva Ecija Rice Vanguards face against South Division champions Zamboanga Family's Brand Sardines. Nueva Ecija beat Zamboanga in four games to win the championship series. Byron Villarias was crowned MPBL Finals MVP.

For sponsorship reasons, this playoff series was also known as the 2022 OKBet-MPBL Playoffs presented by Xtreme Appliances.

Format

The top eight teams from each division advanced to the playoffs. Seeding was changed in this season, in that teams are seeded by wins and not winning percentage. Tiebreaker rules were applied with teams that have the same record. The single-elimination bracket consisted of four rounds with no reseeding. The first three rounds were best-of-three series and the National Finals was a best-of-five series.

During the first two rounds, two games within the same division were played in a gameday, with homecourt advantage alternating between the higher-seeded teams of each series. A traditional homecourt format was then used for the last two rounds, with the Division Finals using a 1-1-1 format and the National Finals using a 2-2-1 format. The designated home team may not be able to play within its home locality. Should it occur, the gameday may take place elsewhere.
