The 2021–22 Major Arena Soccer League season is the fourteenth season for the league. The regular season started on November 26, 2021, and ended on April 3, 2022. Each team was scheduled to play a 24-game schedule.[1] However, two Baltimore Blast games in December were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[2][3][4] and a Florida Tropics SC game at the end of the season was cancelled due to a Southwest Airlines outage preventing the visiting Blast from arriving.[5]

- On October 5, 2021, the MASL announced that teams will be divided into three divisions (Central, East, and West).[1]
- On October 15, 2021, the MASL announced the following changes for the 2021–22 season:
- Standings will be based on a points system similar to the EISL's variant of the three points for a win system, where a regulation win receives 3 points, a regulation loss receives no points, an overtime or shoot-out win receives 2 points, and an overtime or shoot-out loss receives 1 point.
- Division champions and the top five teams remaining advance to the playoffs, with the division champions seeded on top of the 5 wild cards. Similar to last season, every playoff series will be a 2 game home and home series; if tied after 2 games, a 15 minute overtime period then, if necessary, a golden goal overtime period will follow the end of regulation of Game 2.[9]
