# 2022–23 Paris Saint-Germain FC (women) season

The 2022–23 season is the 52nd season in the existence of Paris Saint-Germain and the club's 36th season in the top flight of French football. In addition to the domestic league, they are participating in this season's edition of the Coupe de France Féminine having already exited in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Women's Champions League and finished runners-up to Lyon in the Trophée des Champions at the start of the season.
Ahead of the 2022–23 season, it was announced that Didier Ollé-Nicolle would leave the club after a single season in charge with former Lyon manager Gérard Prêcheur replacing him as manager. Former Lyon goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi also joined the club having won eight UEFA Women's Champions League titles and eleven French championships with OL. PSG also acquired two notable Dutch internationals in the summer window with Jackie Groenen joining the club for a reported fee of €150,000 from Manchester United and former World Player of the Year Lieke Martens joining on a free transfer from Barcelona.
However, the most notable news of the club's pre-season was an injury to Marie-Antoinette Katoto who had become the club's record goal scorer during the 2021–22 campaign. Katoto suffered a torn ACL while playing for France at the Euros against Belgium. The severity of the injury is likely to cause Katoto to miss the entirety of the 2022–23 season. In Katoto's absence, Kadidiatou Diani enjoyed the most prolific season of her professional career before her season was prematurely ended due to a clavicle fracture against Wolfsburg in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final in March.
