The 2021–22 Hurmu Soccer League is the eleventh season of the Hurmu Soccer League and the first under its new format. Under a directive from the Hurmu Football Association, the league was split into three sections; a regional first round, a Winter Cup series and a national second round, to determine the champions of Hurmu. Seventy-nine teams from across Hurmu entered the competition.
Background and structure
As the past ten editions of the Hurmu Soccer League had featured the same eight teams, the Hurmu FA decided to expand the league and invite clubs from across the country to enter into the league. However, noting the lack of organised football elsewhere, they decided that instead of assembling a giant league system, they would instead launch a national competitional which would start off with regional championships that would be held in the autumn, which would lead into a national competition.
It was decided to establish five separate regional championships; one each for Lontinien, Rekozemlje, Transprinitica and the Warring Islands, and a combined one for the districts of Lyrican Hurmu. It was determined that due to the professionalism of the teams of Lyrican Hurmu, that region would be afforded four automatic spots in the National Championship, with Lontinien, Rekozemlje and Transprinitca receiving three automatic spots each and the Warring Islands just one automatic spot. However, the remaining ten spots in the National Championship would be afforded to teams who qualified through the Winter Cup series where twenty teams (four from each regional championship) will battle out for a qualification spot in the National Championship.
The National Championship will be played in the spring in a tournament format, with the twenty-four teams split into six groups of four, before the last sixteen enter a knock-out competition to be crowned national champions. All games will be played on a home-and-away basis in the National Championship, with the exception of the final, which will be played at the Hurmu Ground in Vesüha.
Ahead of the season, the Hurmu FA invited teams to participate. It required any team that wish to enter have a named home stadium within a reasonable distance of their location which complied with the FMF's regulations of size and quality, with changing rooms for the home and away teams and the referee with toilet and shower provisions, flood lights, provisions for spectators, including a minimum capacity of 3,000, including a suitable area for a segregated away suppporters section, a risk assessment certified by the local police department on how they would police/steward games, the provisions to sell tickets and medical facilities with a medical evacuation plan for any potentially serious injury. Furthermore, the FA required an administrative fee of ₢1,000 to be paid, as a way of proving clubs had sufficient funds to participate, cover the costs of referees and to deter non-serious sides from entering.
The regional championships will be played between September and December 2021, with the Winter Cup played in January 2022, and the national championship being played between February and May 2022.
Regional Championships
Lyrican Hurmu Championship
The eight established Hurmu Soccer League clubs were given a bye straight into the Lyrican Hurmu Championship main stage. To join them, amateur clubs from both the Lake District and the Southern District were invited to participate, so long as they met the entry criteria. As such, a number of applications from amateur clubs were accepted and it was decided to allow four of them to qualify through a preliminary round to join the existing professional sides in a twelve team tournament.
Preliminary rounds
Thirty-one amateur clubs had their applications to participate accepted. They were drawn to participate in a knock-out round to determine the four qualifiers for the Lyrican Hurmu Championship.
Championship Round
The four winners of the preliminary round joined the eight established sides in the Championship Round. This was held in one group with teams playing each other home and away. The top four advanced the national championship, with teams finishing fifth through eighth advancing to the Winter Cup.

Winter Cup
The twenty teams are drawn into five groups of four teams. The top two finishers in each group progress to the national championship, with the remaining teams eliminated. Unlike the regional and national championships, each group at the Winter Cup is played at a central venue, with teams playing each other just once, namely the highest placed team in each regional championship that qualified for the Winter Cup, in order to minimise travel and fixture congestion. In the draw, teams were put into pots based on their position in the Winter Cup qualification places for their respective regional championships, with each group being allowed to have only one team from any regional championship in it.

National Championship
The National Championship was held as a tournament, albeit with teams playing home and away in all rounds. 24 teams qualified for this tournament, six each from Lyrica, Lontinien and Rekozemlje, with four teams from Transprinitica and two teams from the Warring Islands.
Group Stage
In the group stage, teams were split into six groups of four teams, with pots based on the qualifying performances in the regional championships and the Winter Cup, with the additional rule that no two teams from the same region could compete in the same group. The top two teams in each group would advance to the Round of 16, alongside the four best third-places teams.

Round of 16
The Round of 16 fixtures were decided by virtue of performance in the Group Stage, with 16th playing 1st, 15th playing 2nd etc. However, no two teams from the same group could be drawn together in this round, nor could any two teams from the same region. Furthermore, the better performing team would play their home game in the second leg.
Quarter-finals
The Quarter-final fixtures will be determined by virtue of performance in the Group Stage and Round of 16, with 8th playing 1st, 7th playing 2nd, etc. From this round on, there will be no restrictions on pairings, so teams from the same group or same region can be drawn together.
Semi-finals
Once again, the semi-final ties were determined by performance in the tournament so far, with the 4th best record playing 1st, and 3rd best playing 2nd.
