The 2022–23 season was the eighteenth season in RoundGlass Punjab FC's existence, and their seventh consecutive season in I-League. This season of the I-League witnessed the return of the home-away format of the matches similar to that of the 2019–20 I-League season after a break of two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.[1]
With a 4–0 away win over Rajasthan United on 4 March 2023, RoundGlass Punjab became the first club to secure promotion to the Indian Super League, from the I-League. On the same day, RoundGlass Punjab were confirmed as champions.[2][3] RoundGlass Punjab finished with 52 points from 22 matches, becoming the first champion side to cross the 50-point mark since Churchill Brothers in 2012–13.[4]
Managerial changes
During pre-season, it was announced that Ed Engelkes would leave as role as interim first team manager and replaced on 8 August 2022 by Staikos Vergetis.[5] The club later announced Ed Engelkes would return to his role as Technical Director of Youth Affairs.
