League stage

The fixtures for the 2022-23 season of ISL were announced on 1 September. Bengaluru FC faced NorthEast United on 8 October.^[58]^[59]

Durand Cup

Шаблон:Main Bengaluru FC had never won the Durand Cup and made their fourth appearance in the 131st edition of the tournament. They were clubbed in Group A with the defending champions FC Goa, two-time champions Mohammedan SC, Jamshedpur FC and one-time runners-up Indian Air Force, which is one of the four traditional armed forces' teams.^[60] Sunil Chhetri was reportedly set to play in Durand Cup after a gap of nine years.^[61]

On 15 August, Bengaluru announced a 25-man squad of primary players for the tournament which confirmed Chhetri's participation.^[45]

Group A

2022 Durand Cup group stage

The squad touched down in Kolkata on 15 August and started their preparations on the same day for the first group stage game against Jamshedpur two days later.^[62]^[63] Bengaluru were facing the reserve side of Jamshedpur lead by youth team coach Indranil Chakraborty. Sunil Chhetri opened the scoring for the dominant Bengaluru in the 23rd minute before debutant Roy Krishna doubled the lead in the 56th minute, helping Bengaluru kick-off their missing silverware quest with a 2–1 win, despite Rishi's consolation goal for Jamshedpur.^[64]^[65]

In the second game, Bengaluru faced Indian Air Force on 23 August where they breezed past the armed force side after scoring four goals in response to none. Roy Krishna and Sunil Chhetri found themselves on the scoresheet yet again in the first half while the substitutes Faisal Ali and Sivasakthi Narayanan added two more to the tally in the latter half. Bengaluru moved jointly to the top of the table along with Mohammedan.^[66]^[67] After the game, Bengaluru alleged racial abuse on one of their player from one of the opposition's player and raised the issue to the relevant authorities.^[68]^[69]

With two wins in two games, Bengaluru FC then faced the defending champions FC Goa who were fielding a reserve side this time around. Bengaluru yet again took an early 2-0 lead via back-to-back goals from Sunil Chhetri and Sivasakthi but failed to hold the lead after the Goan side with the likes of Phrangki Buam and Princeton Rebello who managed to equalise the score. Despite a draw, it ensured Bengaluru's qualification to the knock-out stage, with a game left to be played against hosts Mohammedan.^[70]^[71]

Bengaluru's final group stage encounter was against hosts Mohammedan SC. With both the teams already making cut into the knock-out stage, the match determined who tops the table in Group A and by virtue of which, will face an easier side from Group D in the quarter-finals.^[72] Simon Grayson made nine changes in the playing eleven from their previous game against Goa. A wonderful team combination play saw Mohammedan get an early lead in the 13th minute after Ningthoujam Pritam Singh tapped in the rebounded save from the Bengaluru's custodian Lara Sharma. The game turned into Bengaluru's way after Mohammedan's Abhishek Halder was sent off and his team was down to 10-men on the pitch. Bengaluru kept knokcing on the doors and finally broke it thanks to the Sivasakthi's shot which struck the crossbar and fell inwards before bouncing out. The game ended at stalemate and Mohammedan topped the group while Bengaluru's quarter-final clash was set up against Odisha FC.^[73]

Knockout stage

After finishing second in the group stage, Bengaluru faced the toppers of Group D, Odisha in the third quarter-final. Both the sides did not lose a single game until this round, and as a matter of a fact, Odisha had won all their games in the group stage without conceding a single goal while scoring twelve.^[74]^[75] Naorem Roshan Singh who had returned to the squad from an illness was started by Simon Grayson for the first time in the tournament. After a close encounter in the first half, both the teams failed to disturb the scoresheet and it was much of the same in the second half. With only ten minutes left in the game, Shubham Sarangi went into the booking for the second time and was sent off, thus reducing Odisha to 10-men on the field. Bengaluru tried to take advantage of the situation, but were unable to score and hence pushed the game into extra-time.^[76]^[77]

Seven minutes into extra-time and one minute after being substituted, Sivasakthi gave Bengaluru the lead after turning the ball in which was rebounded off former Bengaluru FC's goalkeeper, Ralte's save. Despite having a numerical disadvantage, Odisha managed to pull off an equaliser as Diego Maurício headed home a free-kick in to the net in the 115th minute. When the game seemed to be heading towards a penalty shootout to break the tie, Ralte gave the ball away cheaply in the form of a throw in during the added time in the second half of the extra time, which was then picked up by Bengaluru and an attack was initiated with Faisal Ali playing it to Roy Krishna who then scored a 25-yard stunner to take Bengaluru FC into their third semi-final.^[76]^[77]

Semi-final was a barrier that Bengaluru had never been able to cross previously in two different attempts. In their third attempt, Bengaluru met Hyderabad FC in the second semi-final at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan. Hyderabad had topped Group C with three wins in four and had beaten Rajasthan United 3-1 in the fourth quarter-final on their way to maiden semi-final appearance.^[78] An evenly poised encounter saw Bengaluru score the opener at the half-hour mark via an own goal from Hyderabad's Odei Onaindia. Jayesh Rane, who had replaced Javi Hernandez from the previous game, played out wide to Prabir Das who put an inch perfect delivery near the goal mouth towards on rushing Roy Krishna, which was then deflected in to the net by Hyderabad's defender.

In the second half, Hyderabad threw everything at the goal, made several attacking moves and earned several set pieces but to no avail as Bengaluru's backline came on top with the likes of trio: Sandesh Jhingan, Aleksander Jovanovic and Parag Shrivas. Bengaluru were in to the finals of the Durand Cup for the first time in their history, and their first final appearance in any tournament since the 2018-19 season's final of Indian Super League.^[79]^[80] Bengaluru also became the only Indian club to play final of every major club competition in the country.^[81]

Final

It was Bengaluru's maiden Durand Cup final appearance and their first cup final since the 2018 Super Cup. They were up against Mumbai City, who were also playing their maiden Durand Cup final. Mumbai City had topped Group B with two wins, a draw and a defeat at the hands of East Bengal. En route to the final, they had beaten Chennaiyin FC in the quarter-final in an eight goal thriller which was settled in the extra-time by Greg Stewart's 118th-minute winner, while in the semi-final, Mumbai overcame Mohammedan's challenge thanks to a 90th-minute winner by Bipin Singh.^[82]

After the traditional pre-match formalities in the Durand Cup final by the Indian Army, the matched kick-off with Bengaluru starting the game brightly of the two teams. It took only eleven minutes for the first time starter Sivasakthi, also the top scorer for Bengaluru in the tournament to take his side into an early lead. Aleksander Jovanovic's long ball directed at Sivasakthi, who beat the defense of Senegalese Mourtada Fall to successfully chip past the hapless Phurba Lachenpa in goal. Mumbai had their fair share of chances and they managed to convert one of those. It was exactly at the half hour mark when Mumbai pulled things to a level from a quickly taken free-kick as Apuia tapped the ball in off a rebounded shot that Gurpreet parried away. Both the sides went in to the half-time break with everything to play for in the latter half.

After the resumption, Bengaluru continued to attack and take their lead back and came close during the 60th minute when Jayesh's deftly lobbed ball in towards Chhetri saw Lachenpa saving the shot. A minute later, Bengaluru did find their lead as Chhetri's corner found the header of Alan Costa to make it 2-1 for Bengaluru in the 56th minute. Mumbai then initiated several attacks on Bengaluru's defense but one of those attacks was converted into a counter attack by Bengaluru, who almost put the game to bed had Lachenpa not made a wonderful save of Chhetri's shot. Mumbai almost equalised when Greg Stewart's long ranger shot rolled past few inches away from the goalpost. A final free-kick attempt by Mumbai was shot wide and the final whistle was blown, Bengaluru had grabbed their seventh trophy in the form of maiden Durand Cup silverware.^[83]^[84]
