The 2021–22 NAFU Regions League was the third edition of the NAFU Regions League a quaternary association club football tournament for CONCACAF teams located in the North American Football Union countries.

The tournament was heavily altered due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and retained much of the same format of the 2020–21 edition. Qualification was anticipated to begin in late June 2021 but was postponed to September 2021.

Format

[edit]

The format for the NAFU Regions League changed this season, with five Mexican, five American, and four Canadian clubs earning a berth into the group stage. Group stage was expanded into 16 teams with four groups of four. The remaining two group stage spots were determined via a qualification tournament amongst teams from Acadiana, Cascadia, Greenland, Iroquois, Navajo, Nunavut, Quebec, and Saint Pierre and Miquelon.
