Decisions

Due to some clubs' participation in continental competitions, the league's start date was delayed by 48 hours.[5] A total of 6,000 spectators will be permitted, up from 2,000 at the start of the previous season.[6] Matches were played during the World Cup.[7] The league was suspended from 3 November through 18 November owing to the country hosting the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference.[8]

Teams

Aswan was the first team to be promoted on 10 May 2022 after a one-year absence.[9] On the same day, El Dakhleya returned to the top flight after a three-year absence.[10] The final team, Haras El Hodoud, won promotion on 13 May, after a two-year absence.[11] They replaced Eastern Company, El Gouna, and Misr Lel Makkasa.
