Notes:
- Teams play each other three times (33 matches), before the league is split into two groups (the top six and the bottom six).
- As the winners of the 2021–22 Scottish Cup, Rangers, qualified for European competition based on league position, the spare Europa Conference League berth was transferred to the fifth-placed team.
