The 2022–23 CBA season was the 28th season of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA). The season began on 21 October 2022 and ended on 5 April 2023.[1]

The league consisted of 20 teams. The Liaoning Flying Leopards won their third championship in team history following their finals victory over the Zhejiang Golden Bulls.

On 17 April 2023, during the playoffs, the CBA ruled that the Jiangsu Dragons and Shanghai Sharks engaged in unsportsmanlike conduct following matchfixing suspicions, and were suspended for the next season. Coaches and players were given multiyear suspensions as well.[2][3]
