The 2022–23 NBA G League season was the 22nd season of the NBA G League, the minor league basketball league of the National Basketball Association (NBA). For the second consecutive season, the schedule was split into two parts: the 18-game Showcase Cup began on November 4, 2022, followed by a 32-game regular season tipped off on December 27.[1] The Delaware Blue Coats defeated the Rio Grande Valley Vipers 2–0 in the 2023 NBA G League Finals.
The Showcase Cup began on November 4, 2022, and it will end with a single-elimination tournament to crown a champion at the G League's Winter Showcase from December 19 to 22. During the Showcase Cup, teams are separated into four regional pods and play 16 games against one another in each respective NBA G League markets. The teams with the best winning percentage in each regional pod, along with the next four teams across the league with the best win-percentages, will advance to compete for the Showcase Cup during Winter Showcase.[1]

For the first time since the 2014–15 NBA Development League season, two teams played against each other in the Finals for the second straight year, as the Rio Grande Valley Vipers faced the Delaware Blue Coats in a rematch from 2022, where the Vipers had won in two games. Delaware, who previously reached the Finals in 2021 and 2022, was the first team since the Santa Cruz Warriors (2013–2015) to reach the Finals in three straight years. The Vipers were the fifth defending champion to reach the Finals the following year. The Blue Coats won in a straight sweep for their first title.
