The 2022–23 I-League (also known as the Hero I-League for sponsorship reasons) was the 16th season of I-League, first as the second tier of Indian football league system. It was played from 12 November 2022 to 12 March 2023.[1]

After a 4–0 win against Rajasthan United on 4 March 2023, RoundGlass Punjab clinched their second league title and became the first ever club to be promoted to the Indian Super League[2][3][4][5] while Kenkre and Sudeva Delhi were relegated to I-League 2.[6][7]

Changes from last season[edit]

Disbanded clubs[edit]

Reinstated clubs[edit]

  • Kenkre: After being relegated at the end of the 2021–22 I-League season, Kenkre was allowed to participate this season.[10] The closure of the Indian Arrows project played a major part in their reinstatement. The conditions for their reinstatement were an agreement to take in several Arrows players and no travel subsidy for away matches.[11]

Changes in format[edit]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament's format was shortened for the last two seasons. From this season, the traditional home and away games format in a double round-robin have returned. Each team will play two matches against every other team at home and away.

The table topper will be declared the league's winner at the end of the season, thereby achieving promotion to 2023–24 Indian Super League,[12] while the two teams with the lowest points will be relegated to 2023–24 I-League 2, and will get a bye to the final round.[13]

Teams[edit]

12 teams participated in the 2022–23 season:

Locations of I-League clubs


Stadiums and locations[edit]

Due to a lack of AFC standard football stadiums available in Rajasthan, Rajasthan United will play their home matches at Ambedkar Stadium, New Delhi. RoundGlass Punjab will play their home matches at Panchkula's Tau Devi Lal Stadium in Haryana. On 22 October 2022, AIFF chief Kalyan Chaubey inaugurated the new home ground of Sreenidi Deccan, the Deccan Arena.[14]
