It was a 1.Pro event on the [[2022 UCI ProSeries]]. The race, which was {{convert|198.7|km}} long, started in [[Terneuzen]] in the [[Netherlands]] and traveled through the windy fields of [[Zeeland]] before crossing the border into [[Belgium]] and finishing in [[Schoten]] on the outskirts of [[Antwerp]].<ref name="route" />

The Scheldeprijs is known as a race that particularly suits the sprinters as it includes several [[cobbled classics|cobbled]] roads but no significant climbs. However, the race was won in an unusual solo victory by [[Alexander Kristoff]] riding for {{ct|IWG|2022}}, when he attacked 7.4 kilometers from the finish and was able to distance the chasing group due to a strong headwind. [[Danny van Poppel]] ({{ct|BOH|2022}}) outsprinted [[Sam Welsford]] ({{ct|DSM men|2022}}) for second, finishing 24 seconds behind Kristoff.<ref name="CN">{{cite web|url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/races/scheldeprijs-2022/elite-men/results/|title=Alexander Kristoff secures rare solo victory at Scheldeprijs|first=Laura|last=Weislo|publisher=CyclingNews|date=6 April 2022|access-date=8 April 2022}}</ref>
