The 2022 World Junior Ice Hockey Championship Division I consisted of two tiered groups of six teams each: the second-tier Division I A and the third-tier Division I B. Due to the exclusion of Russia and Belarus, the following changes in promotions and relegations were made: Latvia as the second-placed team of Division I A were promoted to the 2022 Top Division, their second Junior World Championship tournament this season. In Division I B, the top two teams were promoted to the next year's Division I A. In both tournaments, no team was relegated to a lower division.

To be eligible as a junior player in these tournaments, a player couldn't be born earlier than 2002.
