The championship featured a mix of professional motor racing teams and privately funded drivers, competing in Formula 4 cars that conformed to the technical regulations for the championship.
The season commenced on 23 April at Donington Park and concluded on 9 October at Brands Hatch, utilising the Grand Prix circuit, after thirty races held at ten meetings, all in the support of the 2022 British Touring Car Championship.
This was the first season of the championship using the combination of Tatuus chassis and the engines supplied by Abarth.
The provisional calendar was announced by BTCC on 30 June 2021 and Motorsport UK, the new organiser of the Formula 4 series, confirmed its presence alongside on 24 September 2021.
Race two, which had its grid formed by reversing the order of the ten best drivers from the qualifying session, awarded extra points for positions gained from the drivers' respective starting positions.
