Teams
Locations of the 2022 Belarusian Premier League teams

The 15th-placed team of the last season Smorgon was relegated to the 2022 Belarusian First League. Sputnik Rechitsa were excluded from the league halfway through the last season and will not play in any league in 2022. Smorgon and Sputnik were replaced by two best teams of 2021 Belarusian First League (Arsenal Dzerzhinsk and Belshina Bobruisk).

On 28 February 2022 Rukh Brest withdrew from the league, citing financial troubles caused by international sanctions upon club's owner Alexander Zaytsev and an undisclosed Russian company co-owning the club.[1] A few days later they were replaced by Dnepr Mogilev (5th-placed team of last year's First League season).
