The 2022-23 I-League season will kick off on November 12 when reigning champions Gokulam Kerala take on Mohammedan Sporting in Manjeri, Kerala. The match will kick off at 4.30 PM.
The schedule for the season was released on the official I-League social media handles on Tuesday afternoon, just eleven days before the first match.

Kick-off timings wary, with some at 2 PM, 4.30 PM and 7 PM.
