The 2022–23 Ekstraklasa (also known as PKO Ekstraklasa due to sponsorship reasons) was the 97th season of the Polish Football Championship, the 89th season of the highest tier domestic division in the Polish football league system since its establishment in 1927 and the 15th season of the Ekstraklasa under its current title. The league is operated by the Ekstraklasa S.A.
The season was played as a round-robin tournament. A total of 18 teams participated, 15 of which competed in the league campaign during the previous season, while the remaining three was promoted from the 2021–22 I liga. The season began on 15 July 2022 and concluded on 27 May 2023. As the 2022 FIFA World Cup started on 20 November, the league featured an extended pause during the season. As national team players had to be released by their clubs on 14 November 2022, the last Ekstraklasa matchday before the break was played from 11–13 November (matchday 17). The league subsequently resumed on 27 January. Each team played a total of 34 matches, half at home and half away. It was the second season in the formula with 18 teams, instead of 16. The bottom three teams of the final league table will be relegated. It is the sixth Ekstraklasa season to use VAR.
Lech Poznań were the defending champions, who won their 8th Polish title the previous season. Raków Częstochowa clinched their 1st Ekstraklasa title on 7 May after Legia Warsaw lost 1-2 away against Pogoń Szczecin with three games remaining. The season's runner-up was Legia Warsaw, and the third-placed team was Lech Poznań.
Teams[]
A total of 18 teams will participate in the 2022–23 Ekstraklasa season.

The 2022-23 season is Miedź Legnica’s return to the top flight after 3 years, having last played in the 2018-19 season.
