The 2022–23 Benin Premier League was a top-flight football league in Benin. 36 teams took part in a multi-stage championship: a 16-match regular season followed by a championship round and two regional relegation rounds. Coton were crowned champions and received 10 million in prize money.

In the north group, Énergie FC were relegated with six points. In the south group, Calavi-based Sitatunga were relegated after two seasons in the top flight. They lost their final match 3–1 to Avrankou Omnisports, who would have been relegated had they not won.

League changes

Bani Gansé of Banikoara and JS Ouidah were promoted from the second division.

Eternel FC were renamed OFMAS-SAD after receiving sponsorship, while UPI-ONM changed their name to Aziza FC.
