The 2021–22 Maltese Premier League was the 107th season of the
Maltese Premier League
The Maltese Premier League, known as 360Sports Malta Premier for sponsorship reasons with 360Sports (colloquialism, colloquially known as ''Il-Kampjonat Premjer''), is the highest level of professional football in Malta. Managed by the Malta Foot ...
, the top-flight league football in Malta.
Ħamrun Spartans were the defending champions, having won their eighth title in the
previous season.
On 9 April, the previous season was abandoned due to the
COVID-19 pandemic in Malta. Following the decision of the
Maltese Football Association Executive Committee, the teams that had finished in the relegation places in the previous Premier League season would be relegated to the
Challenge League due to having played the prerequisite 75% of matches for the seasons result to stand. However, as the Challenge League teams did not complete 75% of matches, they would not be promoted to the Premier League to replace the exiting teams, meaning that the 2021–22 season will have only 12 teams competing.
The Premier League consists of two rounds. In the first round, every team plays each opponent twice, once "home" and once "away" (in actuality, the designation of home and away is purely arbitrary as most of the clubs do not have their own grounds), for a total of 22 games. The league then splits into two groups. Teams that finish in positions 1–6 compete in the "Top Six" and teams that finish in positions 7–12 play in the "Play-Out".
Teams
Twelve teams will compete in the league.
