Season Format

The LIB1 season consists of 2 phases. In the first phase, each LIB1 team plays matches with the other 11 LIB1 teams once for a total of 11 league matches per team. The second phase consists of the Championship Round and the Relegation Round. In the Championship Round, the top six teams play each other twice (10 more matches) to determine final rankings for 2023 AFC Champions League and 2023 AFC Cup placements. In the Relegation Round, the bottom six teams play each other twice (10 more matches) to determine the relegation placements. Table ranking ties are broken by (1) head-to-head points, (2) head-to-head goal difference, (3) total goal difference, (4) total goals scored, then (5) a drawing.

Playoffs

Relegation

At the end of the 2021-2022 Regular season, the 6th place Relegation Round LIB1 team will be relegated directly to the LIB2. The 5th place Championship Round LIB1 team withdrew from LIB1, so only one team was relegated.
