Teams of the 2021–22 Israeli Basketball Premier League

Ironi Nahariya and Maccabi Haifa have been relegated to 2021–22 National League after placing the bottom two places of the 2020–21 Premier League.[2] Hapoel Galil Elyon and Elitzur Netanya have been promoted to the league after placing the top two places of the 2020–21 National League.[3]

On August 4, 2021, Israeli Basketball Premier League administration informed Elitzur Netanya that she will not be able to participate in the coming season because her home hall does not meet the league's threshold conditions and construction has not yet begun for a new hall in the city.[4] On August 17, the Supreme Court of the Basketball Association approved the agreements reached by Elitzur Netanya and the League administration in a mediation process, thus enabling Elitzur Netanya participation in the current season.[5] Finally, the promotion of the group was not approved as it did not meet the threshold conditions of budgetary control.[6]
