The 2022-23 campaign delivered a dramatic and financially crucial survival for TSG Hoffenheim as Hoffe battled their way to a 12th-place finish in the Bundesliga. Leading the charge was the Croatian veteran Andrej Kramarić, whose 12 goals proved vital in a turbulent season that saw the team collapse from near the top of the table into a relegation fight, eventually saved by a brilliant closing run under new manager Pellegrino Matarazzo. It was a decisive year that marked the club's successful fight to maintain their top-flight status and a significant step toward financial consolidation.
