English Premier League 2022-2023 season will be the 32nd season of the Premier League, the top English professional football league, since its establishment in 1992. The season will begin on 13 August 2022 and is scheduled to conclude on 13 May 2023. Manchester City will be the defending champions for the second successive year, after winning their third Premier League title in four seasons during 2021–22 The 2022-2023 season of the English Premier League will be the 32nd season of the competition. It is scheduled to begin on 13 August 2022 and conclude on 26 May 2023. The league will be contested by 20 teams, 17 of which will return from the 2021-2022 season and three of which will be promoted from the 2021-2022 EFL Championship. This will be the first season in which teams can use five substitutes in matches, following a ruling by FIFA.
Furthermore, it has also been announced that VAR will continue to be used during matches in order to help referees with decision making. This comes after a number of high-profile incidents where VAR was not used, much to the frustration of fans and players alike. The hope is that by using VAR, more accurate decisions will be made and there will be fewer controversial moments during matches.
With the 2020-2021 season having been disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is hoped that the 2022-2023 season will be able to return to some sense of normality. This means that fans will hopefully be able to return to stadiums in order to watch their team play live, although this will of course depend on the situation with the pandemic at the time.
All in all, the upcoming season promises to be an exciting one, with plenty of twists and turns along the way. Be sure to follow your favourite team closely so you don’t miss a moment of the action!
