The 2021–22 Jordanian Premier Basketball League, also known as the CFI Premier Basketball League for sponsorship reasons,[1][2] was the 68th season of the Jordanian Premier Basketball League (JPL), the top-tier competition for professional men's teams in Jordan. The season began on 27 December 2021 and ended on 22 April 2022.

Al-Wehdat were crowned as champions, after defeating Orthodox in a 3-0 JPL Finals series. Al-Ahli also finished in third-place of the competition.

Al-Ahli were the defending champions, having won the previous 2020–21 season.

Format

During the first round of the competition, 6 teams competed in a double round robin format, with each team playing home-and-away games against every other team.[3]

The top four teams from the first round advanced to a second group stage, where they again competed in a double round-robin format of home and away matches. There, teams get arranged from the 1st seed to the 4th seed.[3]

"The Final" stage commences with the same 4 teams from the previous round,[3] where teams play to a best-of-five series, with the first team to win three games crowned as champion.

Teams

6 teams competed in the competition, with no changes made to the previous season.[4]
