Structure
In a return to the structure used prior to 2020–21, the eleven teams played each of the other teams twice. There was no end of season play-off and as no team met the minimum standards criteria, no team was promoted to Premiership Rugby.[2] For the second consecutive year no team was relegated from the league.
RFU funding
For the second year in a row each club will receive approximately £161,500 in funding from the RFU as part of the reduction of funding introduced ahead of the 2016–17 season.[3][4][5] Last season, following news of the funding change, several clubs announced a switch to a semi-professional business model.[6][7]
Teams
Ten of the eleven teams played in last season's competition. Saracens having beaten Ealing Trailfinders in the 2020–21 final were promoted into Premiership Rugby with no team relegated.[8] London Scottish returned to the league following a one-year hiatus due to the costs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.[9] They intended to leave the Athletic Ground ahead of this season, however it was later confirmed they would remain at the Athletic Ground.[10][11]
