Tournament format and regulations
The 16 teams play a round-robin tournament whereby each team plays each one of the other teams twice, once at home and once away. Thus, a total of 240 matches played, with 30 matches played by each team.
The season started 15 July, with the first half of the season ending on 13 November, allowing for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The second half of the season began the weekend of 4–5 March with the final round of matches scheduled for 3 June 2023.{{cite web |title=1-й тур РПЛ в сезоне 2022/23 состоится 17 июля |url=https://premierliga.ru/news/rfpl/news_28161.html |website=premierliga.ru |publisher=Russian Premier League |access-date=22 June 2022 |language=Russian |date=10 June 2022}}
= Promotion and relegation =
For the purpose of determining First League positions for the following, the teams that will not pass 2023–24 RPL licensing or drop out of 2023–24 season for any other reason, or the second teams of RPL clubs (such as FC Krasnodar-2), or the teams that finished lower than 6th place in First League standings will not be considered. For example, if the teams that finished 1st, 3rd and 4th in the First League standings fail licensing, the team that finished 2nd will be considered 1st-placed team, the team that finished 5th will be considered 2nd-placed team and the team that finished 6th will be considered 3rd-placed team. There will be no designated 4th-placed team in this scenario.
The teams that finish 15th and 16th will be relegated to the 2023–24 First League, while the top 2 in that league will be promoted to the Premier League for the 2023–24 season.
The 13th and 14th Premier League teams will play the 4th and 3rd 2022–23 First League teams respectively in two (home-and-away) playoff games, with penalty shootout in effect, if necessary (away goals rule for these games has been abolished beginning from this season), the winners will secure Premier League spots for the 2023–24 season. If both of the teams that finish RPL in 13th and 14th place fail licensing for the 2023–24 season or drop out for any other reason, play-offs will not be held, and 3rd and 4th First League teams will be promoted automatically. If one of the teams that place 13th and 14th in the Premier League fails licensing for 2023–24 season or drops out for other reasons, 3rd First League team will be promoted automatically and the 13th or 14th-placed team that passes licensing will play 4th First League team in playoffs, with the winners securing the Premier League spot. If only one First League team is eligible for the play-offs (as in the example scenario above), that team will play the 14th-placed RPL team in playoffs, with the winners securing the Premier League spot, and the 13th RPL team will remain in the league. If none of the First League teams are eligible for the play-offs, they will not be held and 13th and 14th-placed RPL teams will remain in the league. If any of the teams are unable to participate in the season after the play-offs have been concluded, or there are not enough teams that pass licensing to follow the above procedures, the replacement will be chosen by the Russian Football Union in consultation with RPL and FNL.{{cite web|url=https://premierliga.ru/netcat_files/86/58/Reglament_RPL_2022_2023_red._09.07.22.pdf|title=2022-23 Russian Premier League regulations, section 4.5|language=ru|access-date=29 July 2022}}
Russian Football Union announced their initial licensing decision for the 2023–24 season on 23 May 2023.{{cite web|publisher=Russian Football Union|url=https://www.rfs.ru/news/218149|title=РФС выдал 39 лицензии для выступления в РПЛ и ФНЛ на будущий сезон|trans-title=RFU issued 39 licenses for RPL and FNL for next season|date=23 May 2023|language=ru}} Rubin Kazan and Baltika Kaliningrad, which secured the top two First League spots at that time, were licensed for the RPL and will receive a direct promotion. Out of the teams that could potentially finish in a Top 6 First League spot at that time (with two games remaining in the season), 3rd-placed Alania, Volgar, Arsenal Tula and SKA-Khabarovsk were all denied the RPL license, those clubs could appeal that decision. Some other teams who could finish in the Top 6, like Dynamo Makhachkala, which was 6th in the standings at the time, did not apply for the RPL license at all. Yenisey Krasnoyarsk and Rodina Moscow were the only teams out of the potential Top-6 finishers to receive the license. On 27 May 2023, Yenisey secured 4th-place finish and participation in the promotion play-offs.{{cite web|publisher=Sports.ru|url=https://www.sports.ru/football/1115162220-enisej-sygraet-v-stykovyx-matchax-za-vyxod-v-rpl-sopernikami-mogut-sta.html|title="Енисей" сыграет в стыках за выход в РПЛ.

Alania's appeal was denied on 29 May 2023 (the appeal by Volgar was successful, but that was moot as Rodina secured a higher table position than Volgar by that time).{{cite web|publisher=Russian Football Union|url=https://rfs.ru/news/218201|title=Апелляционный комитет выдал лицензии "Волгарю" и "Арсеналу"|date=29 May 2023|language=ru}}
= Exclusion from the league =
Any team can be excluded from the Premier League during the season for the following reasons: a) using counterfeit documents or providing inaccurate information to the league; b) not arriving to the game on more than one occasion; c) match fixing. Such a team is automatically relegated and is not replaced during the season, and only one additional team (that gains the fewest points at the end of the season) is directly relegated. If the excluded team plays fewer than 15 games at the time of exclusion, all its results would be annulled and will not count for the standings. If the excluded team plays at least 15 games at the time of exclusion, all their remaining opponents are awarded a victory, without effect on their goal difference.
Season events
=Pari NN–Torpedo game=
In the game played on 19 March 2023 between FC Pari Nizhny Novgorod and FC Torpedo Moscow that ended in a 1–1 draw, Pari NN started Yaroslav Mikhaylov. Mikhaylov started the season with FC Zenit Saint Petersburg before moving on loan to Pari NN, and received a caution in two Russian Second League games for the reserve team FC Zenit-2 Saint Petersburg. He then received caution two more times in RPL games for Pari NN. According to RPL regulations, receiving four cautions leads to an automatic one-game disqualification, and cautions received in the current season in Russian First League or Russian Second League games count for the total, with the exception of the cautions received in games for the current club's reserve team (which Pari NN did not have at the time). The league allowed Mikhaylov to be fielded as their computer system that automatically tracks disqualifications only accounts for the cautions received in RPL games, and the clubs are responsible for tracking the lower-leagues cautions themselves.{{cite web|publisher=Russian Premier League|url=https://premierliga.ru/news/rfpl/news_29211.html|title=Об участии Ярослава Михайлова в матче "Пари НН" – "Торпедо"|date=19 March 2023|language=ru}} Torpedo announced that they will lodge a protest and will demand the game to be awarded to them.{{cite web|publisher=FC Torpedo Moscow|url=https://torpedo.ru/news/44916/|title=ЗАЯВЛЕНИЕ ПО ПОВОДУ НЕСОБЛЮДЕНИЯ РЕГЛАМЕНТА ФК "ПАРИ НН"|date=19 March 2023|language=ru}} Russian Football Union awarded the game to Torpedo with the score of 3–0 on 22 March 2023.{{cite web|publisher=Russian Football Union|url=https://t.me/rfsruofficial/6005|title=КДК РФС удовлетворил протест "Торпедо" и аннулировал результат матча Мир РПЛ "Пари НН" – "Торпедо".|trans-title=RFU accepted Torpedo's protest and annulled the result of Pari NN-Torpedo game|date=22 March 2023|access-date=22 March 2023|language=ru}}
