As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Grand Prix Final was cancelled, while parts of the Junior Grand Prix, Grand Prix, and Challenger Series were not held as scheduled. Among the ISU Championships events, the 2022 Four Continents Championships were relocated, and the 2022 World Junior Championships were also postponed and relocated. Due to these re-allocations, the Estonian Skating Union ended up hosting three of the four ISU Championships events this season.
Beginning from the 2021–22 season, the International Skating Union officially changed the terminology in all ISU rules and events from "ladies" to "women".[1]
On March 1, 2022, the ISU banned all figure skaters and officials from Russia and Belarus from attending any international competitions due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[2]
