Format
The tournament is played by 17 teams, 14 returning from the previous season, two relegated from Campeonato Nacional (Deportes Melipilla and Santiago Wanderers), and the Segunda División Profesional champions Deportes Recoleta. The 17 teams will play each other in a double round-robin tournament (once at home and once away) for a total of 32 matches, with every team having two bye rounds. The top team at the end of the 34 rounds will be the champion and will be promoted to the Campeonato Nacional for its 2023 season, while the next five teams will play a play-off tournament (Liguilla) in which the league runners-up will receive a bye to the final. The playoffs winning team will be the second and last promoted team to the top flight for the following season. Two teams will be relegated to the Segunda División Profesional at the end of the season: the bottom-placed team in the league standings as well as the bottom-placed team in the relegation table, which will consider the performance of teams in the 2021 and 2022 seasons.[2]

Relegation
For this season, a relegation table will be elaborated by computing an average of the points earned per game over this season and the previous one. Promoted team Deportes Recoleta and the relegated ones Deportes Melipilla and Santiago Wanderers will only have their points in the 2022 season averaged. The team placing last in this table at the end of the season will be relegated. In case this team is also the last-placed one in the season's table, the team placed second-to-last in this table will also be relegated.[4]
