[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.

From this season, the traditional home and away games format in a double round-robin have returned.

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.

RoundGlass Punjab will play their home matches at Panchkula's Tau Devi Lal Stadium in Haryana.

[14] AIFF allowed a maximum of six foreign players, including one from an AFC-affiliated country per team, but only four can be part of the matchday squad.
