The2022–23 Swiss Super League (referred to as theCredit Suisse Super League for sponsoring reasons) was the 126th season oftop-tier competitivefootball inSwitzerland and the 20th under its current name and format. With this season, the Swiss Super League became thelongest continuously running top-flight national league.[2]
A total of ten teams are competing in the league: nine teams of theprevious season will participate in the league again.FC Lausanne-Sport, who came in last place, were relegated and are replaced by the2021–22 Swiss Challenge League championsWinterthur.Luzern remains in the league as the winner of the Relegation/Promotion playoff.Zürich are the defending champions.
After Swiss teams gained 7.75 points in European championships in the 2021–22 season, theSwiss Football Association jumped five spots in theUEFA association ranking to rank 14, granting them five spots in European championships in the 2023–24 season. This means that first and second ranked teams of the 2022–23 season will participate in thethird andsecond rounds of the2023–24 UEFA Champions League qualification, respectively, while the third and fourth enter thesecond round of the2023–24 UEFA Europa Conference League qualification. Furthermore, the champion of the2022-23 Swiss Cup enters thethird qualification round for the2023–24 UEFA Europa League.[3]
Due to the format change and the increased number of teams starting with the2023–24 Swiss Super League, this season will function as a transition season. As a result, no teams will be directly relegated to the2023–24 Swiss Challenge League. Instead the last-placed team will play a relegation playoff against the third team of the2022–23 Swiss Challenge League.[4]
The playing schedule of the season, as well as dates and times for the first nine matchdays were announced on 17 June 2022.[2] The first matchday would be held on the weekend of 16 and 17 July 2022. However, the first round matchLuzern –Grasshoppers is postponed until 10 August 2022, due to lack of venues. The matchLuzern –Basel, originally scheduled for 31 July 2022 (Matchday 3), is also postponed to 9 November 2022.[5] Furthermore, scheduled dates for championZürich for matchdays 4, 5, and 8 may be swapped subject to theirChampions League qualifier schedule.
The exact schedule for matchdays 10 through 18 were announced on 2 September 2022.[5] Due to the2022 FIFA World Cup, which will be held in November and December 2022, the league will go on a two-month break, after matchday 16 on 13 November 2022. The winter break will thus occur two rounds earlier than usual, with matchdays 17 and 18 to be held in January 2023. On 22 November 2022, fixtures of matchdays 19 through 27 were scheduled.[6] Matchdays 28 through 36 were scheduled on 15 March 2023.[7]
The last matchday will be on 29 May 2023.[7] Following the end of the season, the two legs of theRelegation Play-off will be played on 3 and 6 June 2023, respectively.[8]
