# 2022–23 III liga

The 2022–23 III liga season was the 15th edition of the fourth tier domestic division in the Polish football league system since its establishment in 2008 under its current title (III liga) and the 7th season under its current league division format. The league was operated by the Polish Football Association (PZPN).

The season was played in a round-robin tournament. It began on 5 August 2022 and ended on 17 June 2023. The teams included semi-professional clubs (although a few are professional) and the reserve teams of professional clubs.
