The 2021–22 WNBL season is the 42nd season of the competition since its establishment in 1981.[1] The Southside Flyers are the defending champions.[2]

After the 2020 season was condensed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was confirmed in July 2021 that the upcoming season is set to be closer to the traditional season fixture played over several months across the summer.[3] In October 2021, a new broadcast deal was signed with the ABC, Fox Sports and Kayo,[4] with an 84-game season fixture announced shortly after.[5]

Spalding will again provide equipment including the official game ball, alongside iAthletic supplying team apparel for the fifth consecutive season.
