The 2021–22 Ghana Premier League was the 66th season of the top professional association football league in Ghana[1] which began on 29 October 2021 and concluded on 19 June 2022.[2] Hearts of Oak were the defending champions.[3]
Asante Kotoko won the league for a record-extending 25th time and the first since 2014 after a 1–1 draw against Ashanti Gold[4] and were handed the trophy on the season's final day after a 3-0 triumph over relegated Elmina Sharks.[5] As champions, Kotoko will participate in the qualification procedures for the following season's CAF Champions League.
Eighteen teams competed in the league; the 15 from the previous season and the 3 winners of the Division One League zones. The promoted teams were Bibiani Gold Stars and Accra Lions, who both achieved promotion for the first time.[6] RTU returned to the league for the first time since their relegation in 2013.[7] They replaced Ebusua Dwarfs, Liberty Professionals and Inter Allies.[8]
