Format

The Greek A Division for the 2021–22 season will be held in 2 groups of 9 teams, 18 teams in total. The separation of the teams into these groups will take place based on geographical criteria.

The championship will be held in two phases. In the 1st phase, the teams of each group will compete in two rounds. In the 2nd phase, a play-off round will be held to determine the champion.

The first two teams of each group will form a group of 4 teams and will compete in Phase B. The order of the games will be determined after a draw. No matches will be held between the teams that competed in the same group in Phase A. The matches of Phase B will be in two rounds and a total of 8 matches will be played in 4 matchdays.

After the end of Phase A, for the 2022–23 season, the teams which occupy the last 3 positions in each group will be relegated to the Greek B Division, a total of 6 teams.^[1]
