The 2022–23 Libyan Premier League season was the 48th edition of the competition.

The league was split into two regional groups, with the top three teams from each group participating in a six-team championship stage which was held in Tunisia. Al-Ahly Tripoli won the title after leading the championship after four rounds.[1] Ittihad refused to play the final match against Al-Ahly, causing runners-up Benghazi to fail to show to their final round match as well.[2]

Al-Ittihad were the defending champions, but finished last in the six-team championship round.

The first round of matches in the second half of the season featured several no-shows, causing several points deductions and a voided match.[3]
