The top three teams for each group would compete in the Super 6 playoff where the winner of the 2023 season would be decided.
As the 2023 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season approaches its end, teams seeking a place in the Super 6 playoff will hope that they can win their last set of matches, or at least, pick some points to better their stance on the table.
