At the second phase, the teams will play among themselves in their groups for two more rounds.

A total of 12 teams contested the league, including 10 sides from the 2021–22 season (eight Russian teams, one Belarusian team and one Kazakhstani team) and two newly-joined Russian sides (Samara and MBA Moscow). Other two Russian sides (Uralmash Ekaterinburg and Runa Moscow) also applied to participate, but they did not fulfill the requirements to join the league. Venues and locations
