The league started a week later because on 1 September 2022, mourning was declared for the late president of Tishreen SC Tarek Zainy, who died in a car accident. Due to the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the last round before stoppage will be held on 21–22 October. The league will resume games on 9 December.
