Format

edit

After the transition season of 2020–21, due to COVID effects and creation of Liga 3, the number of participating teams was reduced from 96 to 63. After two teams withdrew before the draw, the competition has 61 teams.

The new competition format consists of three stages. In the first stage, the 61 clubs were divided in five series of 10 teams and one series of 11 teams, according to geographic criteria, with a maximum of two reserve teams in each series. In each series, teams played against each other in a home-and-away double round-robin system.

In the second stage, the two best-placed teams of each of six series advanced to the promotion series, while the remaining teams disputed the relegation series. In the promotion series, the 12 teams were divided in two series of 6 teams, according to geographic criteria. The two best-placed teams of each series were promoted to Liga 3. In the third stage, each winner of promotion series faced each other on a neutral venue to decide the champion.

In the relegation series, the 49 teams were divided in eleven series of 4 teams and one series of 5 teams, with the series with 5 teams having the teams located further north. In each series, teams played against each other in a home-and-away double round-robin system. The two best-placed teams of each series, a total of 24 teams, secured a spot in 2022–23 Campeonato de Portugal. All the remaining teams were relegated to the District Championships.[2]
