The 2022–23 Ligue 2, commonly known as 2022–23 Ligue 2 BKT for sponsorship reasons, was the 84th season of Ligue 2. It began on 30 July 2022 and ended on 5 June 2023.[1] The league had a break from 12 November to 27 December due to the FIFA World Cup.[2] Two clubs were to be promoted to Ligue 1 at the end of the season as the number of clubs in Ligue 1 was set to be reduced from 20 to 18 for the 2023–24 season.[3] As a result, there were no play-offs held after the end of the regular season.[4]

Notes:

1. ^ The Bordeaux v Rodez match was abandoned in the first half after a Bordeaux supporter entered the pitch and shoved Rodez player Lucas Buádes, who fell to the ground.[33] On 12 June, following an investigation, the LFP ruled the result before the match was suspended to stand and gave a one-point deduction for Bordeaux at the beginning of the 2023–24 season.[34][35]
