The 2022 season of Premium liiga was originally supposed to have top nine clubs from the previous season in addition to Esiliiga champions Maardu Linnameeskond. But on two separate occasions two clubs - Viljandi Tulevik, who finished 8th in 2021, and Maardu Linnameeskond, who were the reigning Esiliiga champions - released a statement, where they confirmed that they will give up their place in the top division and due to financial problems play in the lower divisions. While Tulevik joined Esiliiga,[8] Maardu decided to compete in II liiga.[9] This therefore gave another opportunity to Pärnu Vaprus, who finished last season tenth, and Tallinna Kalev, who was second in Esiliiga, to compete in the Premium liiga.[9][10] A few days before the beginning of the season, the Estonian FA announced that Tallinna Legion would receive -4 points and a transfer ban for missing multiple licensing dates.[11]
The season ended with
FCI Levadia's Zakaria Beglarishvili was the division's top scorer with 21 goals. The top assister was Tallinna Kalev's Ioan Yakovlev, who managed to assist 13 goals. Flora's Konstantin Vassiljev was given the Meistriliiga Player of the Year trophy. In addition Paide's Robi Saarma was named as the Fans Player of the Year by Soccernet.ee readers.

The 2022 season of Esiliiga had six competitors from last years Esiliiga and four newcomers. While last year's champion Maardu Linnameeskond got promoted to Premium liiga, the top divisions eight team - Viljandi Tulevik - was relegated due to financial difficulties.[8] The other three teams all came from Esiliiga B: Viimsi and Harju Laagri will be debuting in the second division, whereas Ida-Virumaa Alliance returns after spending one year in Esiliiga B. They replace Tartu Welco, Tartu Tammeka U21 and Pärnu, who got relegated after last season.[10] On 4 February Maardu Linnameeskond announced that due to financial difficulties they also cannot compete in the top division. Unlike Viljandi, they decided to compete in II liiga and therefore Tallinna Kalev got promoted and Pärnu got readmitted to Esiliiga.[9]
In the penultimate round newcomer Harju Laagri defeated Pärnu 4:0, which crowned them champions of the division. FCI Levadia's reserve team finished second with 68 points and Elva completed the podium with the third place. On the other end of the table Pärnu and Viljandi Tulevik got relegated to Esiliiga B. The promotion/relegation play-offs did not add any new teams to the division because while Elva lost its promotion play-off to Tallinna Legion, Ida-Virumaa Alliance managed to narrowly beat Esiliiga B-s third-best Tallinna Kalev U21.
The best goalscorer was Nõmme United's 17-year-old Egert Õunapuu, who got 36 goals in 26 games. The young attacker was later named the best player of the season beating both Levadia U21's Daniel Luts and Harju Laagri's Roman Sobtšenko.[14]

In comparison to the previous year, the tenth season of Esiliiga B had five new clubs in the division. While Viimsi, Harju Laagri and Ida-Virumaa Alliance got promoted, they are replaced by Tartu Welco, Tartu Tammeka U21 and Pärnu, who join the division after spending respectively one, three and two season in Esiliiga. On the other side of the table, Vändra Vaprus and Nõmme Kalju U21, who had spent the last nine years in the top three divisions, got relegated to II liiga. They were replaced by debutants Raplamaa and Tartu Kalev.[10] On 4 February Maardu Linnameeskond announced that due to financial difficulties they cannot compete in the top division. Due to them deciding to play in the II liiga, Nõmme Kalju U21, who finished the previous year second to last, got readmitted to Esiliiga B and Pärnu JK, who was relegated due to losing the relegation play-offs, was also readmitted to Esiliiga.[9]
Within the first few months Tabasalu managed to separate itself from the other teams. Slowly, FC Tallinn, who did not lose any of their last 27 games, joined them at the top. The champion of the division was crowned in the last round, when the top two teams went head-to-head. Tallinn, who had to win the game, went ahead on the 8th minute and held on to the lead for almost the whole match: Tabasalu got their first goal on the 90th minute. A few moments later Tallinn scored another goal, which gave them the divisions title in the presence of 381 spectators.[15] While Tabasalu and Tallinn were promoted to Esiliiga, Raplamaa, who had the least amount of points in Esiliiga B's history, and Nõmme Kalju U21 got relegated to II liiga.
FC Tallinn's 16-year-old Maksim Kalimullin finished the season as the best goalscorer with 33 goals in 29 games. The second-best goalscorer, Tabasalu's Tristan Pajo, was voted as the player of the season, beating both Kalimullin and Tallinna Kalev U21's Kenlou Laasner.[14]

On 16 December 2021, it was decided that due to the last season being cancelled prematurely, the two II liiga divisions will have 16 clubs in 2022 instead of the usual 14 teams. Therefore, no teams were relegated and the four III liiga champions were promoted.[17] One month later, the Estonian FA announced that the earlier plan had been repealed. The season starts on 26 March and consists of 26 rounds. Reserve teams, which do not have "U21" or "U19" in their name, are ineligible for promotion.[18]
North / East
The North/East division had little change in comparison to the previous year: only two new clubs have entered the league: the promoted Tartu Kalev was replaced by III liiga East's second-placed Jõhvi Phoenix, who will be debuting in II liiga, and Põhja-Tallinna Volta, who held last place when the previous season had been stopped, went to II liiga S/W, whereas Viimsi II will try their luck in the II liiga N/E. On 4 February Maardu Linnameeskond announced that due to financial difficulties they cannot compete in the top division. Therefore they decided to take their reserve teams place in II liiga, while the reserve team was disbanded.[9] Two weeks after the news containing Maardu Linnameeskond, the FA announced that Lasnamäe Ajax would be transferred to II liiga S/W and FC Tallinn U21 will get promoted after finishing the previous season in III liiga West third.[19]
South / West
For the second year in a row Kose, who was in the bottom two, managed to get readmitted to the league. Instead, 10th placed Raasiku Joker, who had been in II liiga or higher since 2013, and Rummu Dünamo decided against taking part of the 2022 II liiga. In addition, Viimsi II, Viljandi Tulevik U21 (dissolved) and Raplamaa (promoted to Esiliiga B) also left the division. These four teams were replaced by Nõmme Kalju U21, Vändra Vaprus (both relegated from Esiliiga B), Nõmme United U21 and Harju Laagri U21 (both at the top of III liiga West). Kuressaare and Pärnu Vaprus had their reserve teams change their names from "II" to "U21" for them to be eligible for promotion. On 4 February Maardu Linnameeskond announced that due to financial difficulties they cannot compete in the top division. Therefore due to them deciding to play in II liiga, Nõmme Kalju U21 was readmitted to Esiliiga B.[9] A few weeks later, the FA announced that in addition to Nõmme Kalju U21 getting promoted, Põhja-Tallinna Volta decided against playing in the fourth tier. That gave an opportunity to Tabasalu U21, who finished the previous season's III West season fourth.[19]
