The 2022 World Junior Ice Hockey Championship Division I consisted of two tiered groups of six teams each: the second-tier Division I A and the third-tier Division I B.

In Division I B, the top two teams were promoted to the next year's Division I A. In both tournaments, no team was relegated to a lower division.
