The 2022–23 Philadelphia Flyers season was the 56th season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on June 5, 1967. On April 1, 2023, the Flyers were eliminated from playoff contention after a loss to the Buffalo Sabres.
On June 17, John Tortorella was named the 23rd head coach in team history.
No captain was named to replace the departed Claude Giroux, who signed with the Ottawa Senators as a free agent following his stint with the Florida Panthers. In fact, only one player, Scott Laughton, was chosen by Tortorella to serve as an alternate captain throughout the entire season.
General manager Chuck Fletcher was fired on March 10 and replaced on an interim basis by Daniel Briere. The interim label was removed from Briere’s title a month after the regular season ended.
The pre-season schedule was published on June 27, 2022.
