The 2022–23 RFU Championship is the fourteenth season of the RFU Championship, the professional second tier of rugby union in England. It features eleven English teams and one from Jersey. Jersey Reds won the league with one match remaining.
Structure
The twelve teams will play each of the other teams twice.
The results of the matches contribute points to the league as follows:
- 4 points are awarded for a win
- 2 points are awarded for a draw
- 0 points are awarded for a loss, however
- 1 losing (bonus) point is awarded to a team that loses a match by 7 points or fewer
- 1 additional (bonus) point is awarded to a team scoring 4 tries or more in a match.
Promotion and relegation
Subject to meeting the minimum standards criteria the team finishing top of the league will be promoted to Premiership Rugby, which means there will be no relegation to National League 1. If the champions do not meet the criteria, and therefore not promoted, one team will be relegated. With both Wasps and Worcester Warriors entering administration and deemed unable to compete in the Championship the competition will include 12 teams in 2023–24.[2]
On 13 February 2023, the RFU confirmed that only Doncaster Knights were eligible for promotion.[3]
RFU funding
For the third year in a row, each club will receive approximately £161,500 in funding from the RFU, as part of the reduction of funding introduced ahead of the 2016–17 season.[4][5][6] Following news of the funding change, several clubs announced a switch to a semi-professional business model ahead of the 2020–21 season.[7][8]
