The 2021–22 Southern Combination Football League season was the 97th in the history of the competition, which lies at levels 9 and 10 of the English football league system.
The provisional club allocations for steps 5 and 6 were announced by The Football Association on 18 May.
After the abandonment of the 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of promotions were decided on a points per game basis over the previous two seasons.
Division One increased to 18 clubs from 16 clubs, after AFC Varndeanians, Bexhill United and Littlehampton Town were promoted to the Premier Division.
Five clubs joined the division:
- Dorking Wanderers Reserves – transferred from Combined Counties Division One
- Epsom & Ewell – transferred from Combined Counties Division One
- Forest Row – promoted from Mid Sussex Football League
- Godalming Town – transferred from Combined Counties Division One
- Montpelier Villa – promoted from Division Two
