football league season
The 2021–22 Swiss Promotion League is the 10th season (8th under its current name) of the 3rd tier of the Swiss football league system under its current format.
Format
The Championship had 16 teams, of which four were U-21 teams, the eldest youth teams of the Super or Challenge League clubs. The number of U-21 teams permitted in this division was limited to four (this rule would be would be removed for the following season). The U-21 teams are not eligible to promotion or for a slot in the Swiss Cup. The top placed team, of those eligible, would be promoted and the two teams lowest in the table would be relegated. The season was to be played in two stages. In the first stage each team played a double round robin, one at home and one away against each of the other 15 teams. The table was then divided into three groups the teams taking points and goal difference with them. The top six teams played a single round robin, against the other five, for the promotion slot. The following six teams played once against each other for three Swiss Cup slots.

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 28, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q107213695. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2021.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
