2021–22 Honduran Liga Nacional

The 2021–22 Honduran Liga Nacional season was the 56th Honduran Liga Nacional edition since its establishment in 1965. The tournament started in September 2021 and is scheduled to end in mid 2022. The season is divided into two halves (Apertura and Clausura), each crowning one champion. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on association football, a new and more compact format is to be used. The first stage was shortened from 18 to 14 weeks. The tournament is divided into two groups of five. The top teams of each group advance directly to the semifinal round, and the teams finishing 2nd and 3rd from each group have to play a playoff round. At the end of the season, the three teams with the best record qualify to the 2022 CONCACAF League.
