Format

This season saw a new competition format where all clubs from both Pro League and First Division entered at the round of 32, with the exception of the defending champions Sharjah (who received a bye to the round of 16). The restructured schedule was a response to the previous season's competition being postponed due to a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification play off match against Australia.^[1]
