Division One was increased from 19 clubs to 20 after Alton, Hythe & Dibden and US Portsmouth were promoted to the Premier Division.

Four new teams joined the division:

• Two transferred from the Combined Counties League Division One:
• Ash United
• Fleet Spurs
• Two promoted from the Hampshire Premier League:
• Infinity
• Millbrook, changing their name from Bush Hill F.C. prior to this season

Infinity withdrew from the league on 6 February 2022 after their groundshare agreement with Hythe & Dibden was terminated by Hythe. This followed an incident in which an Infinity player was sent off during a match for using racist language. Subsequent attempts to find another ground at which Infinity could play were unsuccessful.{{cite web|url=https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/infinity-forced-to-withdraw-from-the-wessex-league-after-losing-home-ground-following-racist-language-3558000 |title=Infinity forced to withdraw from the Wessex League after losing home ground following racist language |date=9 February 2022 |access-date=10 February 2022 |website=Portsmouth News}} Infinity's playing record was later expunged from the league table.
