The 2021–22 Hellenic Football League season was the 69th in the history of the Hellenic Football League, a football competition in England. For the first time since the 1999–2000 season, the league operates two divisions, the Premier Division at Step 5 and Division One at Step 6.
The allocations for Steps 5 and 6 this season were announced by The Football Association on 18 May 2021.[1]
After the abandonment of the 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic in England, numerous promotions were decided on a points per game basis over the previous two seasons.[2][3][4]
