The Lebanese Second Division (Arabic: الدوري اللبناني الدرجة الثانية) is the second division of Lebanese football. It is controlled by the Lebanese Football Association. The top two teams qualify for the Lebanese Premier League and replace the relegated teams, while the bottom two are relegated to the Lebanese Third Division.[1]

It was the third season to feature a "split" format, following its introduction in 2020–21, where the season was divided into two phases. The league was played between 2 September 2022 and 4 March 2023; Racing Beirut and Ahli Nabatieh, who finished first and second respectively, were promoted to the Premier League,[2] while Shabab Bourj, who withdrew, and Ahli Saida were relegated to the Third Division.[3]
