The 2022–23 Bangladesh Premier League was the 15th season of the Bangladesh Premier League since its establishment in 2007. The league was contested by 11 teams including AFC Uttara and Fortis FC, who joined as the promoted clubs from the 2021–22 Championship League. The season started on 9 December 2022 and concluded on 22 July 2023. [1]
Defending champions Bashundhara Kings won their four title in a row, making them the first-ever team to win four successive title in the country. [2] They secured the title beating Sheikh Russel KC in the highest scoring match of the season with three matches to spare. [3]
Eleven teams are competing in the league – the top nine teams from the previous season and the two teams promoted from the BCL. The promoted teams are AFC Uttara and Fortis FC, who are new to the top flight. They replaced Swadhinata KS and Uttar Baridhara Club (both teams relegated after just one year back in the top flight).
