A total of 11 teams competed in the league, with Sport Progreso successfully defending their national title won in 1921.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] This was the first season to be organized by the Peruvian Football Federation as the Liga Peruana de Football ceased operations in 1921.^[5]

The Association FBC did not participate in the league because it had permission from the FPF to carry out a football tour to Central America.
