This ISL 2022-23 season marks the return of the home and away format as teams also return to their respective venues. It will mark the return of fans to the stands after two seasons inside the bio-bubble. The league phase of the season will run from October 7, 2022, to February 26, 2023. Kerala Blasters face Hyderabad FC in the final league phase match.

The playoffs will then follow with the league expected to finish by March. The league organisers have also announced significant changes to the playoffs format from this season onwards. Instead of the usual top four teams qualifying for the playoffs, this season will see the top six teams reach the knockout stage.

The top two ranked teams will advance directly to the semi-finals. Teams between third and sixth will then face each other in a single-leg play-off match to determine the other two semifinalists. While the third-ranked team will face the team placed sixth, fourth and fifth-placed teams will clash against each other. The winners of this play-off match will then face-off in the two-legged semi-finals with the winners meeting in the summit clash.
