Regular season
The regular season started on 17 September 2022 and ended on 19 February 2023. The regular season is played at the national level in the form of a round of five matches, that is to say that each of the seven teams plays 24 matches. The first four in the ranking in the regular season compete in the playoffs (best of 5), the three last team compete in a ranking round. The Swiss SWHL-B champions will be promoted directly to the WL for the 2023/24 season. The SWHL-B runner-up plays a league qualifier against the loser of the WL ranking round. If the SWHL-B champion does not wish to be promoted, the runner-up will be promoted directly and no WL member will be relegated. If SWHL-B champions and runners-up do not wish to be promoted, there will be no promotion or relegation from WL to SWHL-B.[2]
