On 27 September 2022, the league committee meeting presided by Lalnghinglova Hmar was held. It was initially decided that 15 teams would participate in the upcoming season, including the reserve sides of ISL teams. The final phase of the league will be played on a home-and-away basis.[8]

However, on 16 December, the league committee decided that 20 teams would play in I-League 2, consisting of 12 state league champions along with 6 ISL reserve sides and two qualification tournament winners.[9]

On 13 January, the League committee decided that two clubs would be promoted to I-League, and two relegated clubs, along with the remaining three final-round clubs, would directly qualify for the final round of next season.[10]

Changes from last season edit

  • The league will have state league champions or other eligible teams nominated by their respective state football associations besides the six reserve teams of the Indian Super League.
  • Teams will be divided into zones to minimize the travel, and the winners from each zone will qualify for the final phase.[11]
  • The final round will be played on a home and away basis, consisting of 5 teams.
  • The two among five teams who finish at the top of the table after the final phase is promoted to the l-League.
  • The two relegated I-League teams and the other three final phase teams will directly qualify for the I-League 2 final phase next season.
  • Mandatory club licensing criteria are removed for participating in the league.[8]
