The regular season is being played as a round-robin tournament. A total of 12 teams participate, 10 of which competed in the league campaign during the previous 2021–2022 season. The league started a week later because on 1 September 2022, mourning was declared for the late president of Tishreen SC, Tarek Zainy, who died in a car accident. Due to the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the last round before stoppage was held on 21–22 October. The league resumed games on 9 December.
