After a hiatus of two seasons, supporters will also return to the stadiums during the 2022–23 season. Since each Matchweek is scheduled between Thursday and Sunday, the ISL has devised a fixture list that includes weekend games, aligning it with the top international football leagues.
The ISL 2022–23 season will include 117 matches of high-intensity football action at ten locations across the nation. The ISL league stage will last nearly five months for the first time, apart from the playoffs, semi-finals, and finals.
Each club will play 20 league matches - 10 each at home and away through the autumn till next spring as the league stage draws to a close on February 26.
All ISL teams are currently participating in Asia's oldest competition, the Durand Cup, as they gear up for the new season. All Indian football stakeholders have been determined to create a more extended football calendar that provides players with more competitive matches throughout the year. The Super Cup will follow the ISL in April 2023.
