The 2022–23 Czech First League, known as the FORTUNA:LIGA for sponsorship reason, is the 30th season of the Czech Republic's top-tier football for professional clubs since its 1993 establishment. FC Viktoria Plzeň are the reigning champions. The season started on 30 July 2022. The first half of the season will have 16 rounds, finishing on 13 November 2022 because of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and the other half will commence on 28 January 2023. The season is expected to end on 28 May 2023 with two extra play-out fixtures on 1 and 4 June 2023.
The season format is unchanged from last season, 16 clubs play each other home and away, until the league is split up in championship, play-off and relegation groups. The lowest-ranked team was relegated directly to the second league, the two teams positioned 14th and 15th played a play-out with two teams from the second league positioned 2nd and 3rd in a home and away format. This was the fifth season to use VAR, featuring it in all matches played. The year-to-year changes in the format of the competition are only cosmetic, the most significant change being the increase of the number of substitutes permitted on the substitute bench to 11.
A total of sixteen teams contested the league, including fifteen sides from the 2021–22 season and the winner of last season's second league.
Team promoted to Czech First League
After being relegated in the 2020–21 season, Zbrojovka Brno returned to Czech First League as the champion of the 2021–22 Czech National Football League.
Teams relegated from Czech First League
The lowest positioned team from the last season, MFK Karviná, was relegated to the Czech National Football League. The 14th-placed Bohemians 1905 and 15th-placed FK Teplice successfully defended their spots in the first league by winning the relegation play-offs.

Points and goals were carried over in full from the regular season.
Because only four teams advance to the European Cups from the Czech First League due to a low national coefficient, the winner of the play-off will only receive a cash bonus and a bye in the third round of the 2023–24 Czech Cup.
