We studied the broadband X-ray timing and spectral behaviors of the newly confirmed accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar MAXI J1816$-$195 during its 2022 outburst. We used the data from Insight-HXMT ME/HE, NICER and NuSTAR which cover the energy range between 0.8–210 keV. Coherent timing analysis of Insight-HXMT ME/HE and NICER data revealed a complex behavior at the early stage of the outburst, between MJD 59737.0-59741.9, and beyond between MJD 59741.9-59760.6 a significant spin-up $\dot{\nu}$ of $(9.0\pm2.1)\times10^{-14}~{\rm Hz~s^{-1}}$. We detected the X-ray pulsations up to $\sim95$ keV in a combination of Insight-HXMT HE observations. The pulse profiles were quite stable over the whole outburst and could be well described by a truncated Fourier series using two harmonics, the fundamental and the first overtone. Both components kept alignment in the range 0.8–64 keV. The joint and time-averaged NICER and Insight-HXMT spectra in the energy range 1–150 keV were well fitted by the absorbed Comptonization model compps plus disk blackbody with two additional Gaussian components. Based on the bolometric flux during the spin-up epoch, we determined a magnetic field strength of $(0.23-1.11)\times10^8$ G in MAXI J1816–195.
