In the first half of the 2022–23 season Ruch played every home match in Stadion Ruchu Chorzów, but since it has ongoing work on it, Ruch played the second half of the season at Stadion im. Piotra Wieczorka (usually hosting home matched of Piast Gliwice). Due to renovation of Stadion im. Ojca Władysława Augustynka, Sandecja played their home matches at Puszcza Stadium in Niepołomice. To 8 April 2023 Skra played their home games at a substitute stadium GIEKSA Arena, because Stoelzle Stadion STO in Częstochowa didn't meet the license requirements of the I liga. Zagłębie Sosnowiec played their games on Stadion Ludowy until 18 February 2023. Since 25 February 2023 they moved to ArcelorMittal Park where Zagłębie played the rest of the season on.
