A.S. Blainville won their third consecutive league title, as well as their second consecutive Coupe PLSQ. AS Blainville and AS Laval qualified for the League1 Canada Interprovincial Championship with Blainville winning the title and Laval finishing as runner-ups.

Changes from 2021

The 2022 season will have its greatest number of participating teams with 12 teams. AS Chaudière-Ouest and the Québec girls EXCEL program join as expansion franchises.[1] [2] CS Monteuil became AS Laval following a merger with another non-PLSQ club.[3]

Each team will play each other once, with the top four clubs qualifying for the Coupe PLSQ. After the season, there will be a Final Four tournament, hosted in Laval, featuring two PLSQ teams and the champions of League1 Ontario and League1 British Columbia to decide the champion of League1 Canada.[4]
