Peter Wright was the defending champion after defeating Dimitri Van den Bergh 18–9 in the 2021 final.[1] However, he was defeated by Van den Bergh 16–14 in the quarter-finals, in a rematch of the previous year's final.

Michael van Gerwen won his third World Matchplay title, defeating Gerwyn Price 18–14 in the final.[2][3]

Gerwyn Price hit the first nine-dart finish in the tournament for four years in his semi-final win over Danny Noppert.[4]

This tournament also had a separate women's event which took place on the day of the final of the main tournament and was won by Fallon Sherrock.[5]
