Alianza Lima were the defending champions and successfully retained their title after defeating Carlos A. Mannucci 4–1 on aggregate in the finals.[3] As champions, Alianza Lima qualified for the 2022 Copa Libertadores Femenina.

Competition format

The season was divided into two stages: Regular stage and Play-offs.[4] The regular stage was played under a single round-robin format with the 13 teams playing each other once for a total of 12 matches per team (6 matches at home and 6 away matches).

For the play-offs stage, the 13 teams were split into two groups of 6 and 7 (championship play-offs and relegation play-offs respectively) according to their final placement in the regular stage. The championship play-offs were contested by teams ranked 1st to 6th in the regular stage, the 6 teams played in a hexagonal where they faced other teams once for a total of 5 matches per team. The top four teams from the hexagonal advanced to the single-leg semi-finals with teams ranked 1st and 2nd hosting the matches. Winners of semi-finals played the finals on a home-and-away two-legged basis to decide the national champion, while losers played the single-leg third place play-off. Originally, the final was scheduled to be played in Lima on a single-leg format.[5]

The relegation play-offs were contested by teams ranked 7th to 13th in the regular stage, the 7 teams played in a heptagonal where they faced other teams once for a total of 6 matches per team. After the last matchday, the team placed 7th was relegated to the 2023 Liga de Ascenso Femenina while the team placed 6th played a promotion play-off against the runners-up of the 2022 Copa Perú Femenina, winners of this play-off played the 2023 Liga Femenina while the losers played in the 2023 Liga de Ascenso Femenina.
