The 2022–23 Kenyan Premier League was the 20th season of the Kenyan Premier League since it began in 2003, and the 60th season of top-division football in Kenya since 1963. The season was set to commence on 24 September, however, an ongoing technical dispute with FIFA pushed the start to 19 November 2022.
Team changes APS Bomet and Fortune SACCO gained promotion to the Premier League from the 2021–22 National Super League, with Mathare United and Vihiga United being relegated. However, the FKF announced on 9 November 2020 that the results of the 2021–22 Premier League were abandoned due to an ongoing technical dispute with FIFA, and the promotion/relegation from the previous season were canceled.
