Grand Prix motorcycle racing is the premier class of motorcycle road racing events held on road circuits sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM). The Grand Prix Motorcycle Championship is currently divided into four classes: the eponymous MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3 and MotoE. The 2022 FIM Moto3 World Championship is a part of the 74th F.I.M. Road Racing World Championship season. The 125 cc class was replaced in 2012 by the Moto3 class. The first three classes use four-stroke engines, while the MotoE class (new in 2019) uses electric motorcycles.

This class is restricted to single-cylinder 250 cc four-stroke engines with a maximum bore of 81 mm (3.2 inches). The minimum total weight for motorcycle and rider is 148 kg (326 lb). The minimum age for the Moto3 class normally is 16, and cannot be older than 28 years, or 25 years for new contracted riders participating for the first time and wild-cards. A change of rules was introduced in 2014, allowing under-age FIM CEV Repsol Moto3 (junior) champions to participate in a subsequent Moto3 series at World Championship level. The first beneficiary of this rule-change was double (2013 and 2014) CEV champion Fabio Quartararo.
