I went to an English club tonight and the club usually ends at 10 pm, which is late for me to catch the train. So I asked the host "Is it okay to leave early?" I wonder if my question is natural.

It's okay, but are you asking about just yourself, or attendees in general?

If you're just asking for yourself, I might say "Is it okay if I leave early?"

See above. As Skrej said, if you're talking only about yourself, use "Is it okay if I leave early?"
