Format
    
The FIH changed the format for this season as there were no home and away matches and the season was divided into date blocks. To reduce financial and logistical issues, a set of three teams gathered at one venue and a "mini tournament" was contested where each team played two matches against one another.[1][3] The changed format also reduced the issue of travel time and minimised the burden on players.
Point system and rankings
    
The winning team got three points. In case of a draw, both teams were given one point, with the winner of the shootout earning an extra point.[3] The team finishing last was relegated to the Nations Cup.
Teams
    
Following their withdrawal in the 2021–22 season due to COVID-19 related travel requirements, the national teams of Australia and New Zealand will rejoin for the new season.[4][5]
