The 2022–23 Luxembourg National Division season, also known as BGL Ligue, for sponsorship reasons, was the 109th of top-tier association football in Luxembourg. The season began on 7 August 2022 and will end on 21 May 2023.[1] The league champion qualified to compete in the 2023–24 UEFA Champions League.
F91 Dudelange were the defending league champions, their 16th title.[2]
The league is notable for being one of the few top-flight leagues to use the three substitute rule for the duration of the 2022-23 season, and it is the only top-flight men's European league to use the rule within the period.
Teams
[edit]Rodange 91 and RM Hamm Benfica were relegated at the end of the previous season, while Mondercange and UN Käerjéng 97 were promoted from the Luxembourg Division of Honour.
