The 2022–23 Primera División Femenina de Fútbol season, renamed Liga F (finetwork Liga F for sponsorship reasons), was the 35th edition of the Primera División Femenina de España de fútbol, and the first edition with professional status in its history. The tournament was organized by the Liga Profesional Femenina de Fútbol (LPFF). The competition was supposed to start on 10 September 2022, but the first week matches were postponed. As a result, the competition started on 17 September 2022, and ended on 21 May 2023.[1]
Barcelona were the defending champions after winning undefeated the previous season. They defended the title with 28 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
On 8 September 2022, the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) referees threaten to not attend any Matchday 1 as part of their continue strike for higher wages. As a result, all Liga F matches scheduled for 10–11 September were postponed after clubs were ready to play, but referees did not participate.[1] [2] [3] [4]
On 15 September 2022, a deal was reached between the parties to end the strike, which paved the way for the league season to start.[5]
On 6 October 2022, the LPFF announced the telecommunication company Finetwork (stylized finetwork) would become the official league sponsor for the next three seasons. As a result, the league will be renamed finetwork Liga F.[6]
Alhama was promoted to the top flight for the first in its history. Levante Las Planas return after being relegated in the 2013–14 season.
Eibar were relegated after two seasons, while Rayo Vallecano after spending 19 years in the top division.[7]
