The 2022–23 Uganda Premier League was the 55th season of the Uganda Premier League, the top-tier football league in Uganda. The league was reduced to 15 teams after promoted Kyetume FC failed to receive a license in time for the fixture list to be released, causing them to be administratively relegated to the third division.^[1]

Vipers SC won the title on goal difference on the last day of the season. SC Villa topped the table with 52 points entering the last matchday, but lost to URA 1–0, meaning Vipers 5–0 win over Busoga was enough to pass Villa and claim the title over KCCA, who also won 5–0 on the last match day to qualify for the Confederations Cup.^[2] Villa had two points deducted for hooliganism in November 2022 which would have given them their first title since 2004 and were made to play five games behind closed doors.^[3]^[4]

At the other end of the table, Onduparaka were relegated after seven seasons in the top flight.^[5] Lira-based side Blacks Power were also relegated on the second to last matchday.^[6]
