The 2022–23 season is the 145th season in the existence of West Bromwich Albion Football Club and the club's second consecutive season in the Championship. In addition to the league, they will also compete in the 2022–23 FA Cup and the 2022–23 EFL Cup.

On 10 October 2022, manager Steve Bruce was sacked after winning only 1 from their opening 13 league games, leaving the club in the relegation places. Spanish coach and former Marcelo Bielsa understudy Carlos Corberán was appointed as his successor on 25 October.

The season also saw increased scrutiny of the club's ownership, and the practices of majority shareholder Guochuan Lai.[4][5] The club's financial situation began to receive national media attention, having already been commented on frequently in local press.[6] Supporter action groups and in-stadium protests by fans to raise awareness of the club's off-field issues took shape during the season.[7]
