The 2022–23 season was the 80th season in the history of FC Nantes and their 10th consecutive season in the top flight. The club participated in Ligue 1, the Coupe dr France, the Trophée des Champions and the UEFA Europa League.[1] [2] The season covers the period from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023.
Despite a 14-match winless run between February and May, which led them being in danger of relegation, Les Canaris ultimately preserved their top flight status with a 1–0 win over Angers, and Auxerre 1–3 defeat to Lens, thus avoiding a return to the second tier of French football for the first time since the 2012–13 season.
