All statistics correct as of 20 May 2023.

The 2022–23 Slovak First Football League (known as Fortuna liga for sponsorship reasons) was the 30th season of top-tier football league in Slovakia since its establishment in 1993.

The winter break began earlier than usual this season due to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, with the last full round scheduled for 11–13 November 2022. Four postponed matches then took place on 24 and 27 November. The first round after the winter break was scheduled for 10–12 February 2023.

Slovan Bratislava successfully defended their title, securing a record-extending fifth consecutive championship.

Teams

Team changes

Twelve teams competed in the league – nine teams from the previous season and three teams promoted from the 2. Liga.

Podbrezová (promoted to the top flight for the second time) earned an automatic promotion thanks to the victory of the 2. Liga, replacing Pohronie (relegated after three years in the top flight), who finished last in the 2021–22 Slovak First Football League.

Dukla Banská Bystrica[1] (promoted after seven years of absence) and Skalica[2] (promoted to the top flight for the second time) were also promoted, and they will replace Senica[3] and Sereď[4] – two teams that did not obtain a licence for the 2022–23 season.

Europa Conference League play-offs

The winner of the 2022–23 Slovak Cup, Spartak Trnava, finished in the top 3 in the league, which already secured them a spot in the 2023–24 UEFA Europa Conference League. As a result, a playoff was held for the final spot in the Europa Conference League, which involved the teams ranked in 4th–7th place at the conclusion of the regular season. The play-offs were one-off matches with extra time and penalties used to determine the winner if necessary, with the higher-ranked teams given home advantage against the lower-ranked teams (i.e. 3rd v. 7th and 5th v. 6th) in the semi-finals. The higher-ranked of the two semi-final winners also gained home advantage in the final. Žilina won the play-offs and earned a place in the Europa Conference League first qualifying round.
