The 2022–23 FIS Cross-Country Continental Cup (COC) was a season of the FIS Cross-Country Continental Cup, a series of second-level cross-country skiing competitions arranged by the International Ski Federation (FIS).

The 2022–23 Continental Cup contained ten different series of geographically restricted competitions: five in Europe, two in North America, one in South America, Asia and Oceania.

On 1 March 2022, following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, FIS decided to exclude athletes from Russia and Belarus from FIS competitions, with an immediate effect.[1]

Winners

The overall winners from the 2021–22 season's Continental Cups are rewarded a right to start in the first period in the following 2023–24 World Cup season.[2]
