==Format==
Unlike the [[2021–22 Ranji Trophy|last season]], where all teams competed for the same trophy, this season BCCI enforced the [[Promotion and relegation]] format. This Ranji trophy had two winners to improve the standard and competitiveness of the tournament. The teams were divided into two categories named as Elite category having 32 teams split into four groups, with Plate category having 6 teams.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/two-ranji-trophy-winners-inaugural-under-16-tournament-for-girls-in-bcci-s-new-domestic-schedule-1328327 |title=Two Ranji Trophy winners, inaugural Under-16 tournament for girls in BCCI's new domestic schedule |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=13 December 2022}}</ref> The Elite group teams played each other once, with the top two teams from each group qualified for the quarter-finals. In the Plate Group also teams played each other once, but the top four teams qualified for the plate group knockouts, with the bottom two teams playing for the fifth and sixth positions, and another playoff for the third and fourth positions took place.<ref name="Relegation">{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/ranji-trophy-2022-23-season-all-you-need-to-know-format-players-to-watch-out-for-1349285 |title=FAQs: Everything you need to know about the Ranji Trophy 2022-23 season |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=13 December 2022}}</ref> The two Plate finalists will be promoted to the Elite group for the next season, 2023–24, while the bottom two teams of all the four Elite groups combined - factoring in both points and the quotient will be relegated to Plate group.<ref name="Relegation"/>
