Teams
[edit]Sixteen teams participated in the 2021–22 season. The only added team was St. Pölten, relegated from the 2020–21 Austrian Football Bundesliga.
Due to the suspension of the 2020–21 Austrian Regionalliga, no club was relegated from the previous season[2]

Notes:
- ^ No club applied for a license for admission to the second division from the Regionalliga West, meaning there are only two promotion/relegation places available.[4]
- ^ FC Juniors OÖ has waived admission for the 2022/23 season and will therefore be relegated from the Admiral 2nd division.[5]
- ^ Wacker Innsbruck did not apply for a license for the next season, and as a result decided not to file a complaint with the Permanent Neutral Arbitration Court. This places the club at the bottom of the table and is relegated from the Admiral 2nd League.[6]
