ISL 2022-23: Schedule, squads, format, live streaming — all you need to know

The 2022-23 season of the Indian Super League (ISL) begins on 7 October with Kerala Blasters hosting East Bengal in Kochi. After two seasons played inside bio-bubble, ISL is back to home-and-away format. Hyderabad FC won the ISL trophy last season while Jamshedpur FC clinch the League Shield. A lot else has also changed including squads and coaches for the upcoming season. There’s also a slight tweak to the format. Here’s everything you need to know about the ISL 2022-23 season. Format Earlier, the top four teams at the end of the league stage qualified for the playoffs. But the upcoming season of ISL will also include eliminator matches to decide the semi-finalists. The top two teams will gain direct entry to the semi-finals but the third-placed side will take on the sixth-placed team and the fourth-place club will face the fifth-paced side to decide the remaining two semi-finalists. The winner of Elimination 1 (3rd vs 6th) will face the first-placed side in the semi-finals while the second-placed team will face the winner of Eliminator 2 (4th vs 5th). The semi-finals will be a two-legged affair and the winners will face each other in the final. Squad rules Each ISL club is allowed to register a minimum of 25 and maximum of 35 players including six overseas players. One of the overseas players has to be from an Asian country.
