The season started on 27 September 2021. The season ended with Young Africans S.C. clinching their 29th premier league title, losing only two games in the entire season. This was the team's second consecutive championship win.[1][2] Congolese striker Fiston Kalala Mayele (Yanga S.C.) along with Burundian striker Saidi Ntibazonkiza (Simba S.C.) were the top scorers of the season.[3]
