The 2022–23 Jamaica Premier League was the 49th season of the Jamaica Premier League, the top division football competition in Jamaica. The season kicked off on 23 October 2022 and ended on 11 July 2023.

Harbour View were the defending champions, having won their 5th premier league title, their first since the 2012-13 season.[1] Mount Pleasant defeated Cavalier in the playoff finals to win their first premier league title.[2]

Teams

There were no relegations at the end of the 2022 season due to the expansion of the league from 12 to 14 teams for the 2022-23 season.[3] Chapelton Maroons and Faulkland were promoted from the second division. Both were making their debut in Jamaica's top flight football league.[4]
