The BOV Challenge League 2022/23 will be played over two phases as eighteen teams are taking part this season

For season 2022/23, there will be eighteen clubs in the Challenge League. The new teams in the Challenge League are Sliema Wanderers, who were relegated from the Premier League, National Amateur League Champions Zurrieq and runners-up Attard, who won Sections B and A respectively; Marsaskala who won the Promotion Decider and Mtarfa who won the Promotion Play-Offs.

Vittoriosa Stars, who were the last team to be relegated from Group A last season, retained their place in the league following the decision by Pembroke Athleta to apply for an Amateur licence and who will therefore play in the National Amateur League.

The eighteen teams will be playing on a one round league basis in the first phase. In the second phase, the top six teams will be playing on two rounds while the other twelve will be playing on one round. 

At the end of the second phase,

(a) the clubs placed first and second in the Top six shall be promoted to the Premier League with the team placing first being declared the Champion of the Challenge League;
(b) the clubs placed third in the Top Six shall participate in the Premier League Play-Out;
(c) the bottom six teams in the Bottom Twelve shall be relegated to the National Amateur League.

The draws were held by Malta FA Director Football Operations Stephen Azzopardi on Monday on the Malta FA Facebook page.
