The 2022–23 Big Bash League season or BBL|12 was the twelfth season of the Big Bash League (BBL), the professional men's Twenty20 domestic cricket competition in Australia. The round-robin phase of the tournament ran from 13 December 2022 to 4 February 2023 with Perth Scorchers dominating the standings.[1] Perth Scorchers won their fifth BBL title against the Brisbane Heat by 5 wickets.
Perth Scorchers were the defending champions, having won their 4th title in the 2021–22 Big Bash League season.[2] The season saw the implementation of the international draft system, and removal of the Bash Boost point and X-Factor from the tournament. The Decision Review System was also implemented for the first time, with each team having one review available per innings, retaining the review if successful.[3]
