The 2022–23 Super League 2, known as Super League 2 betsson for sponsorship reasons, is the fourth season of the Super League 2, the second-tier Greek professional league for association football clubs, since the restructuring of the Greek football league system.
The season is set to start on 4 November 2022 and will finish on 20 June 2023. The league will be conducted of 30 teams and two groups, this is due to the restructure and abolishment of the Football League. The B Teams of Olympiacos, PAOK, Panathinaikos and AEK Athens will also compete in the league for a second consecutive year. B Teams, however, are ineligible for promotion or relegation.
On 22 July 2022, Greek Football Federation decided the promotion of the winners of both groups, removing the past play off system that existed last season.
The league was indefinitely suspended on 2 February 2023 by a unanimous decision from all 30 teams, as the Minister of Sports Lefteris Avgenakis announced that €1,700,000 are to be awarded to the Super League 2 teams from taxation of betting companies instead of the €5,100,000 that the teams claim to have been agreed at the start of the season, leading to great financial instability for all of the teams. On 8 February 2023, Avgenakis declined having agreed to a total funding of €5,100,000, and stated that he will not discuss with the 30 teams unless they resume the league. On 22 February 2023, the Super League Greece 2 president Leoutsakos stated that he would resign if funding was found. On 8 March 2023, after Leoutsakos' resignation, Super League 2 elected Petros Martsoukos as a new president, and agreed to resume the championship, and opting to communicate with Avgenakis for funding, as Avgenakis had set a prerequisite for funding that Leoutsakos is removed from president of Super League 2. The talks between Martsoukos and Avgenakis did not start immediately as Rokakis, the adversary of Martsoukos for the Super League 2 presidency, appealed the result of the election. The appeal was rejected on 11 April 2023. On 26 April 2023, Avgenakis and Martsoukos agreed for a total funding of €2,542,000 for the 24 Super League 2 teams, since B teams were excluded, as well as Apollon Larissa and Irodotos who had withdrawn from the league at the time.
