The 2021–22 Premier League of Eswatini was the season of the Premier League of Eswatini, the top-tier football league in Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), that started in November 2021.[1]

Teams

The 2019–20 season was abandoned with no teams relegated, so the 2020–21 season began with 16 instead of 14 teams. For this season, 4 teams were due to be relegated, in order to return the number to 14 for the following season. However, the Premier League of Eswatini challenged the Eswatini Football Association decision,[2] and two of the four relegated teams challenged the decision.[3]
