ISL 2022-2023 final, semi-final and playoffs date, time, stadium venue
The playoffs and March final for the 2022–23 season have been set, according to the Indian Super League (ISL).
The final will be played on March 18, 2023, with the playoffs beginning on March 3.
The games will be held at the homes of the third and fourth-place clubs. On March 7, 9, 12, and 13, there will be four home-and-away semifinal contests. All matches will be played at 7:30pm IST.
The top two clubs after the league stage advance directly to the semifinals. In a single-leg play-off to determine the other two semi-finalists, the teams placing third through sixth will compete.
Bengaluru’s recent return to form suggests that the competition is fierce. Chennai had to prevail in every match, which proved to be too difficult aim for them.
