The 2021–22 Hong Kong Third Division League is the 8th season of Hong Kong Third Division since it became the fourth-tier football league in Hong Kong in 2014–15.[1] The season began on 29 September 2021.

Format[]

Promotion and relegation was suspended during the 2020–21 season and the season was shortened to a single round-robin due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Hong Kong.[2] As a result, all 16 teams from the previous season were permitted to remain during the 2021–22 season and four additional teams were approved for play.

Beginning with the 2021–22 season, the Third Division will be played as a single round-robin.[3]
