The last five teams will be relegated to Liga III. The season began on 6 August 2022 and is scheduled to end in June 2023.

Excluded teams
Academica Clinceni and Gaz Metan Mediaș relegated to Liga II at the end of the 2021–22 Liga I season. On 27 June 2022, Academica and Gaz Metan were relegated directly to Liga III, by the Romanian Football Federation, which denied a second tier licence for both clubs, due to important financial problems and unpaid debts to current and former players and managers.

Renamed teams
FC Buzău was renamed back as FC Gloria Buzău, due to brand rights.
