With eight games on the field hockey schedule for each program, the number of games remains the same as previous seasons, while the travel schedule has been reduced after the conference announced changes to its sport formats for the 2021-22 season on May 5. The conference champion is still determined by the final standings, with the top team earning the CW banner.
Whoever emerges from the conference as champions will head east to take on the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) champion November 11-14 in a best-of-three series for the U SPORTS championship.
