* ↑ No club applied for a license for admission to the second division from the Regionalliga West, meaning there are only two promotion/relegation places available.
* ↑ FC Juniors OÖ has waived admission for the 2022/23 season and will therefore be relegated from the Admiral 2nd division.
* ↑ Wacker Innsbruck did not apply for a license for the next season, and as a result decided not to file a complaint with the Permanent Neutral Arbitration Court. This places the club at the bottom of the table and is relegated from the Admiral 2nd League.
