Excluded teams

Academica Clinceni and Gaz Metan Mediaș relegated to Liga II at the end of the 2021–22 Liga I season. On 27 June 2022, Academica and Gaz Metan were relegated directly to Liga III, by the Romanian Football Federation, which denied a second tier licence for both clubs, due to important financial problems and unpaid debts to current and former players and managers.[3]

Renamed teams

FC Buzău was renamed back as FC Gloria Buzău, due to brand rights.[4]

Teams spared from relegation

Due to Academica and Gaz Metan exclusion by the Romanian Football Federation, their places were occupied by Politehnica Timișoara and Unirea Constanța, best two ranked teams from the relegated five registered at the 2021–22 Liga II.[3]
