The 2022–23 Süper Lig, officially called the Spor Toto Süper Lig 2022–23 season, was the 65th season of the Süper Lig, the highest tier football league of Turkey. The season has started on August 5, 2022 and ended on June 7, 2023.
Galatasaray clinched their 23rd league title, and first since the 2018–19 season, on 30 May 2023, with two games to spare.[2]
Due to Turkey's poor UEFA ranking (20th at the end of the 2021–22 season), in this season only four teams qualified for the European cups instead of the usual five. The team in first place entered the 2023–24 UEFA Champions League's second qualifying round, while teams in second and third place, as well the winners of the 2022–23 Turkish Cup, entered the 2023–24 UEFA Europa Conference League's second qualifying round.
Teams
[edit]A total of 19 teams contested the league, including 16 sides from the 2021–22 season and 2021–22 TFF First League champions Ankaragücü, runners-up Ümraniyespor and play-off winners İstanbulspor. Ankaragücü immediately returned to top level, while Ümraniyespor competed in the Süper Lig for the first time in their history.[3][4] İstanbulspor returned to top level after 17 years. Two teams were relegated to the 2023–24 TFF First League.
