A new logo for the UAAP, selected from among the entries of a design competition, was unveiled during the opening ceremony for this season.

[1] The season held its opening ceremony last March 26, 2022 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

2022, which was the fifth playing date of the basketball tournament, the UAAP opened its doors to fans at the Mall of Asia Arena.

Team staff and players were kept in their bubble setups, which necessitated closing off the patron and ringside areas to fans.

The league announced the schedule of the remaining events in a press conference during the Cheerdance Competition on May 22, 2022, The UAAP men's beach volleyball made its comeback after three years on May 27, 28, and 29 and on June 3, 4, and 5 at SM Sands By the Bay in Pasay City.

The UAAP had a successful return in the pandemic era, completing the Season 84 men's basketball tournament capped by a dramatic championship finish by the University of the Philippines dethroning Ateneo in Game 3 of the Finals best of three series.

In the UAAP Season 84 poomsae tournament held on May 31, 2022, at the Coral Way of SM Mall of Asia Arena, the UST Tiger Jins won gold in the men's, women's, and mixed team divisions to end La Salle's two-season reign.

The University of Santo Tomas ruled the UAAP Season 84 3×3 men's basketball tournament on Friday, June 3, 2022, at CaSoBe resort in Calatagan Batangas.

Fourth-seeded Ateneo eliminated third-seeded UST in the first phase of the stepladder semis played on June 14, 2022, at SM MOA.

With this win, Ateneo moved up the ladder and played second-seeded La Salle in the second phase of the stepladder semis on June 16, 2022.

NU won game 1 of the Finals with La Salle at the Mall of Asia Arena on June 18, 2022.

[4] The UAAP provisionally changed its rule on the number of players in the basketball and volleyball rosters due to COVID-19 positive cases.

This allowed outgoing UAAP players to apply for the PBA draft without jeopardizing their varsity eligibility.

Similar to the men's basketball tournament, however, the UAAP provisionally changed its rule on the number of players on the volleyball roster due to the still COVID-19 situation.

Any of the four reserves may be elevated to the regular lineup only to replace a player in the 14-man roster who is COVID positive and for no other reason, including injury.

[8] Just prior this season's opening, both parties announced that live UAAP games would be aired on One Sports free-to-air channel with final four and finals games on TV5, UAAP Varsity Channel on pay TV, and Cignal Play on over-the-top streaming.

[10] In May 2022, international viewers can now watch UAAP games through streaming site iWantTFC after ABS-CBN made a partnership deal with Cignal.
