The 2021–22 Austrian Football Bundesliga, also known as Admiral Bundesliga for sponsorship reasons, was the 110th season of top-tier football in Austria. The title was won by Red Bull Salzburg for the sixteenth time in their history, and ninth time in a row.[1]
St. Pölten was relegated to the 2021-22 Austrian Football Second League after finishing in last place in the 2020-21 Relegation Round.[2] SK Austria Klagenfurt was promoted as champions of the 2020–21 Austrian Football Second League, despite finishing third in that competition. FC Blau-Weiß Linz finished in first, but did not apply for a Bundesliga license [3] and FC Liefering took second place, but as a feeder team for FC Red Bull Salzburg, were also ineligible for promotion.
The points obtained during the regular season were halved (and rounded down) before the start of the playoff. As a result, the teams started with the following points before the playoff: Red Bull Salzburg 27, Sturm Graz 18, Wolfsberger AC 18, Austria Wien 16, Rapid Wien 15, and Austria Klagenfurt 15. The points of all teams but Austria Klagenfurt were rounded down – in the event of any ties on points at the end of the playoffs, a half point will be added for these teams.
