Notes:
- Makedonikos lost the game against Lefkimmi, but won the appeal and took part at the promotion play offs. CAS vindicate Lefkimmi, awarding Kozani the league title and 1st place, but EPO decided the promotion of Makedonikos, since they had finished 4th at the promotion play-offs which had already been conducted by the time of the verdict.
- Thyella Sarakinon merged with Keravnos Angelochoriou (EPSM), on 2 August 2022.
- -A.E. Lefkimmi had 3 points deducted, from the HFF. The game Lefkimmi- Makedonikos originally finished 1-0. The game forfeited to Makedonikos. On 5 July 2022 CAS accepted Lefkimmi's appeal, but the League Table didn't change, because EPO had validated it. Finally, EPO gave back to Lefkimmi the six points, and relegated Megas Alexandros Trikalon.
