Trofense[1] (promoted after a six-year absence) and Estrela da Amadora (promoted for the first time)[2] were promoted from the 2020–21 Campeonato de Portugal, replacing Oliveirense and Cova da Piedade.

Cova da Piedade failed to produce valid licensing documentation to compete in the 2021–22 season of the Liga Portugal 2, so they have been relegated by the Portuguese Football Professional League to the Liga 3.
