The 2021–22 Primera División RFEF season was the first and the only season under the name Primera División RFEF, the new third highest level in the Spanish football league system. It succeeded the old Segunda División B, which renamed itself Segunda División RFEF and downgraded to the fourth level in the pyramid.[1] Forty teams participated, divided into two groups of twenty clubs each based on geographical proximity. In each group, the champions automatically promoted to Segunda División and the second to fifth placers played promotion play-offs and the bottom five were relegated to the Segunda División RFEF.[2] [3]
A total of 40 teams joined the league, including four relegated from the 2020–21 Segunda División and 36 promoted from the 2020–21 Segunda División B.

The winners of the two regular season groups will face off in a single-match neutral site final to determine the champion of the 2021–22 Primera División RFEF season. The match will take place at one of the stadiums designated to host the promotion playoff.
See main article: 2022 Primera División RFEF play-offs.
Teams ranked second through fifth in each of the two groups qualified for the promotion playoff, which determined the last two promotion spots. The eight qualified teams were drawn into two fixed brackets, each containing four teams. All ties consisted of a single neutral-site match. In case of draws, extra time was played; if the match was still level, the team which achieved a higher regular season finish was proclaimed the winner.
