The 2022–23 season was Al-Nassr's 47th consecutive season in the top flight of Saudi football and 67th year in existence as a football club. The club participated in the Pro League, the King's Cup, and the Super Cup.
The season covers the period from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023.
This season, the club brought in Cristiano Ronaldo, considered one of the greatest footballers of all time. He signed a contract for two-and-a-half years until 2025, with a total salary of €200 million per year, thought to be the highest salary ever paid to a professional footballer. He made an immediate impact on the global following of the club, with their Instagram account growing from 860,000 followers before his move to over 10 million followers less than a week later.
