Miss Teen USA 2022 will be the 40th anniversary of Miss Teen USA pageant. Breanna Myles of Florida will crown her successor at the end of the event.
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the duration between most of the state pageants from the previous year's competition, with previous year's state titleholders' reign being shortened to eight to eleven months, depending on state. Delegates from the 50 states and the District of Columbia are selected in state pageants which began in September 2021 and will end in June 2022, as the state pageant schedule can become very dense between the last state pageant held from 2021. The first state pageants were Idaho and Montana, held together on September 12, 2021, and the last state pageants will be Colorado, both scheduled to be held on July 3, 2022.
Starting this year, contestants who participated in a state pageant cannot compete for more than one state per year, with the eligibility rules having reverted to the past rule since Crystle Stewart took over the directorship role at the end of 2020. On May 17, 2022, an announcement was made that the competition will be held on September 10. All state pageant competitions were returned to full capacity with spectators and contestants being required to be fully vaccinated.
As of June 13, 2022, 48 state titleholders have been crowned:
