The Premier Division comprises the same set of 22 teams which competed in the aborted competition the previous season.
The allocations for Step 4 this season were announced by The Football Association (FA) on 17 May 2021. Numerous changes were made to the constitutions of the level 8 divisions within the Isthmian League.
The scheduled restructuring of the non-League system takes place for the 2021–22 season and a new division has been added to the Northern Premier League at Step 4 for 2021–22, which resulted in some reallocations into or out of, and promotions to, the Isthmian League's Step 4 divisions.
