The 2022–23 Elite One was a season of the Elite One, the top-tier football league in Cameroon.

Coton Sport FC won their third consecutive title and 18th overall after winning all three games in the championship stage, including a 2–0 win over Canon Yaoundé on the final match day to clinch the title.[1][2]

Avion Academy escaped relegation after a ruling saw them awarded three points in their match against UMS de Loum after UMS fielded an ineligible player, relegating Djiko in Group A.[3]

YOSA de Bamenda defeated Eding Sport 2–0 in the relegation playoff to remain in Elite One.[4]
