The 2022–23 Angolan Basketball League, for sponsorship reasons known as the 2022–23 Unitel Basket, was the 45th season of the Angolan Basketball League, the highest premier basketball league in Angola. The season consisted of thirteen teams and began on 21 October 2022 and ended on 19 April 2023 with the conclusion of the finals.
The format of the previous season stayed mostly the same. The finals were announced to be changed to a best-of-seven series; however, eventually a best-of-five system was still used.
Petro de Luanda won its 16th national title after defeating Primeiro de Agosto in the play-off finals.
