The 2022–23 Tanzanian Premier League (known as the NBC Premier League for sponsorship reasons) was the 58th season of the Tanzanian Premier League, the top-tier football league in Tanzania (mainland only), since its establishment in 1965. The season started on 27 September 2021. The season ended with Young Africans S.C. clinching their 29th premier league title, losing only two games in the entire season. This was the team's second consecutive championship win.[1] [2] Congolese striker Fiston Kalala Mayele (Yanga S.C.) along with Burundian striker Saidi Ntibazonkiza (Simba S.C.) were the top scorers of the season.[3]
Each team plays each other twice (30 matches each), once at home and once away.
The 13th and 14th-placed teams (Kinondoni MC and Mbeya City) qualified for the Tanzanian Premier League play-off, alongside the 3rd and 4th-placed teams from the 2022–23 Tanzanian Championship League (Pamba and Mashujaa). The Championship teams faced each other over two legs; the Premier League teams then also faced each other over two legs, with the winners remaining in the Tanzanian Premier League and the losers competing against the Championship play-off winners for the final place in the following season's Tanzanian Premier League.
