Regular season
The regular season started on 11 September 2021 and ended on 27 February 2022. The regular season is played at the national level in the form of a round of five matches, that is to say that each of the six teams plays 25 matches. The first four in the ranking in the regular season compete in the playoffs (best of 5), the two last team compete in the playouts (best of 5). The Swiss SWHL-B champions will be promoted directly to the WL for the 2022/23 season. The SWHL-B runner-up plays a league qualifier against the loser of the WL playouts. If the SWHL-B champion does not wish to be promoted, the runner-up will be promoted directly and no WL member will be relegated. If SWHL-B champions and runners-up do not wish to be promoted, there will be no promotion or relegation from WL to SWHL-B. The 2021/22 match schedule is characterized by two interruptions. There will generally be no matches from December 7 to 21 due to the Winter Universiade in Lucerne. The WL will take a break from January 22 to February 20, 2022 due to the Olympic Games.[1]

Playoffs
Due to the uncertain situation linked to the COVID-19 pandemic, the national cup final is postponed until after the Olympic Games. This postponement directly affects the first round of the playoffs, canceling the first weekend. The first round is therefore played to the best of 3, rather than the best of 5 as initially planned.[4]
