The second season of the reality singing television competition Idol Philippines aired on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, and TV5 from June 25 to September 18, 2022.

This was the first season not to air on ABS-CBN after the network was ordered by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) and Solicitor General Jose Calida to cease its free-to-air television and radio broadcast operations on May 5, 2020, following the expiration of its congressional franchise.

In the aftermath, including the denial of the franchise, layoffs, and the loss of frequencies, host Billy Crawford and director Bobet Vidanes transferred to blocktimer shows aired on TV5.
