The 2022–23 Men's England Hockey League season was the 2022–23 season of England's field hockey league structure and England Hockey Men's Championship Cup. The season started on 24 September 2022.[1] [2]

Old Georgians were the defending league and cup champions.[3] The Premier Division created a system of three phases; the first phase would consist of 10 matches per club and would be completed by the end of 2022, determining the top six clubs (irrespective of home and away advantage) for phase 2.[4] Phase three saw the play offs return and included the bottom four sides competing in a relegation play off.[5]

Old Georgians Hockey Club successfully defended their title after beating Holcombe 5–1 in the play off final.[6] They then won the double after winning the England Hockey Men's Championship Cup, defeating Beeston in the final.[7]
