The 2022–23 Bangladesh Premier League, also known as BPL 9 is the ninth season of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), the top-level professional Twenty20 cricket league in Bangladesh, organized by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). In July 2022, after the International Cricket Council accommodated the month of January and February for this league in its Future Tours Programme, the BCB announced the schedule of the BPL for the next three seasons.[1] Accordingly, the ninth season was scheduled to be held from 5 January to 16 February in 2023.[2] BCB also decided to increase the number of teams to 7 and to sell the franchise rights for 3 years from this season.[3]

BCB announced the list of franchise owners in September 2022, with five of the previous six franchises retaining ownership and the return of Rangpur Riders after two seasons.[4] Comilla Victorians is the defending champion.

Unmukt Chand, former Indian cricketer also registered for the draft, being the only Indian so far to have registered in BPL's players' draft.[5] Before the draft, each team was allowed to recruit directly only one domestic player and unlimited number of foreign players.[6][7]

The players' draft was held on 23rd November 2022.[8]
