The 2022–23 Kenyan Premier League was the 20th season of the Kenyan Premier League since it began in 2003, and the 60th season of top-division football in Kenya since 1963. The season was set to commence on 24 September, however, an ongoing technical dispute with FIFA pushed the start to 19 November 2022.[1] [2]
APS Bomet and Fortune SACCO gained promotion to the Premier League from the 2021–22 National Super League, with Mathare United and Vihiga United being relegated. However, the FKF announced on 9 November 2020 that the results of the 2021–22 Premier League were abandoned due to an ongoing technical dispute with FIFA, and the promotion/relegation from the previous season were canceled.
