The season is played in two tournaments, Apertura and Clausura, and started on 17 July 2022 due to delays.

The teams compete in a two-stages system, Apertura and Clausura tournaments, each one consisting of seven gameweeks, from where the champion team and the promotions are defined.[1] The 2022 season of women's football leagues began as late as July due to several deferrals, that then led to criticism of Uruguayan Football Association resolutions by women players.[2]
