Zamalek are the defending champions, having won their 13th league title in the previous season.

Teams

Eighteen teams are competing in the league - the top fifteen teams from the previous season, and three teams promoted from the Egyptian Second Division.

Venues

A total of 12 stadiums in 5 governorates were selected by clubs to host their 2021–22 home fixtures. Each club has the option to submit a reserve home venue in case of unavailability for their main home stadium.

Due to security concerns, selected matches are played on neutral ground due to high intensity. For example, fixtures between Al Ahly and Ismaily are played in Alexandria. All matches involving Al Masry are also played in the same city.

Notes
  1. Al Masry play their home matches at Borg El Arab Stadium in Alexandria, instead of their regular stadium Al Masry Club Stadium in Port Said, which is under demolition process ahead of a redevelopment project.
  2. Misr Lel Makkasa play their home matches at Cairo Military Academy Stadium in Cairo, instead of their regular stadium Faiyum Stadium in Faiyum, due to VAR unavailability.
