The 2022–23 Liga 1 was the 6th season of Liga 1 under its current name and the 13th season of the association football, the top Indonesian professional league for association football clubs since its establishment in 2008. It started on 23 July 2022. Bali United were the two-time defending champions.

Summary

Following the Kanjuruhan Stadium disaster, in which at least 135 people were killed in a stampede provoked by police use of tear gas among fans who were still in the stadium, competition in all top three leagues in Indonesia were placed on hold. On 8 October 2022, FIFA recommended that matches be played no later than 17:00 local time and only on weekends to avoid risky situations in some matches.
On 3 December 2022, PSSI announced that the league would resume on 5 December, with all remaining matches being held behind closed doors at least until the first half of the season ended.

Teams

Eighteen teams were competing in the league – the top fifteen teams from the previous season and the three teams promoted from the [2021–22 2021–22 Liga 2 (Indonesia)|Liga 2 (Indonesia)|Liga 2]. The promoted teams were Persis, RANS Nusantara and Dewa United. They replaced Persipura, Persela and Persiraja.

Name changes

On 30 May 2022, during the 2022 PSSI Ordinary Congress, four teams had their name change requests accepted by the federation:Dewa United removed "Martapura" from its official name, having previously acquired Martapura to play in Liga 2 last season.
  • Borneo added their home city of "Samarinda" to their full name, thus becoming Borneo Samarinda.
  • TIRA-Persikabo officially changed its name to Persikabo 1973, even though the name was already used for the last season as a commercial arrangement.
  • RANS Cilegon changed its name to RANS Nusantara and moved their homebase to Jakarta. Therefore, the club will play their home matches at the Pakansari Stadium, which is also the home of Persikabo.

Additional play-offs for qualification to the AFC Club Competition

Due to the change of AFC competition dates to an autumn–spring format, two seasons of Indonesian domestic football had been completed prior to the beginning of the next AFC competitions. The qualification method required an additional two-leg play-off to be held between the premiers from the past two seasons. The winner qualified for the play-off stage of the 2023–24 AFC Champions League, and the loser qualified to the playoff rounds of the 2023–24 AFC Cup.
