official schedule is out now, FYI.

Men: https://assets.fis-ski.com/image/upload/v1653563483/fis-prod/assets/2223men_25.05.2022.pdf

Beaver Creek is SG, 2DH
Palisades Tahoe is GS/SL
Aspen is SG, 2DH

Men still go to Lake Louise even with the new Zermatt/Cervinia speed opening
Alta Badia gets 2GS
Garmisch gets a midweek night SL, and then 3.5 weeks later there's a now-traditional DH-GS weekend.

No Zagreb for the men (but women get 2SL)
No Kvitfjell for the men, which is a surprise to me (but the women are going!)
No AC on world cup, but there will be one at FIS World Champs.

14 DH, 7 SG, 10 GS, 10 SL, 1 PAR (Lech). I'm surprised there aren't more SG, tbh.

Women: https://assets.fis-ski.com/image/upload/v1653563456/fis-prod/assets/2223women_26.05.2022.pdf

Women at Zermatt/Cervinia for 2 DH the week after the men; for some reason I thought that was going to be men only, glad I was wrong
Killington is the now standard GS/SL on Thanksgiving weekend
Lake Louise stays 2DH/SG
Zagreb gets 2SL
Looks like they finally jettisoned the pretend idea of Maribor, and have scheduled 2GS at Kransjka Gora
Women will race at Kvitfjell for the first time in a while, I think (DH/SG)

No world cup stop at Courchevel, which isn't much of a surprise.
No women's world cup races in France, which is a bit of a surprise.
No AC on world cup, but there will be one at FIS World Champs.

More balanced schedule than the men: 11 DH, 9 SG, 10 GS, 11 SL, 1 PAR (Lech)
FIS (quietly?) released a new Men's schedule last week: https://assets.fis-ski.com/image/upload/v1660028211/fis-prod/assets/2223men_09.08.2022.pdf

only one change from what I can tell: Lake Louise is now DH/2SG (from DH/SG)
Something I missed last time ... looks like SG is here to stay at Wengen, which, IMO, is stupid. Not a good track for a SG.

Agreed!
SG should be more than a shortened DH with a few more gates.

Because I'm sporadically attentive, FIS also updated the women's calendar in July, adding a SG in Kvitfjell:
