The 2022–23 season was the 138th season in the existence of Millwall Football Club, 96th consecutive season in the Football League, and 46th in the second tier. This was the club's sixth consecutive season in the Championship. In addition to the league where they finished eighth, they competed in the FA Cup and the EFL Cup. The attendance of 18,524 against Sunderland at The Den was the highest since an FA Cup game against Chelsea in 1995. That record was topped a month later against Norwich City, with 18,785 supporters at the Den.
