Competition format

This year, the competition features 16 teams, with each of them playing 30 matches at the end of the season. The 15th and 16th placed team are automatically relegated to K4 League, and the 1st and 2nd from K4 League, are automatically promoted to the 2023 season, replacing the K3-relegated teams. No championship play-offs will be held in the 2022 season, as the 2022 FIFA World Cup takes place between November and December, unviabilizing the realization of the play-offs in its usual period.[1]
