The 2022 KNVB Cup Final was a football match between Eredivisie clubs PSV and Ajax, that took place on 17 April 2022 at De Kuip, Rotterdam.[2][3] It was the final match of the 2021–22 KNVB Cup, the 104th season of the annual Dutch national football cup competition.
PSV won the match 2–1 for their tenth title. As winners, they competed in the 2022 Johan Cruyff Shield and earned a spot in the 2022–23 UEFA Europa League play-off round if they had not qualified for the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League. With PSV finishing second in 2021–22 Eredivisie, the Europa League play-off round spot was instead given to the third placed team in the Eredivisie.
