The 2022–23 season was the 106th season in the existence of Southampton Football Club and the club's eleventh consecutive season in the Premier League. In addition to the league, they also competed in the FA Cup and the EFL Cup.
Ralph Hasenhüttl was sacked on 7 November 2022 due to a poor start to the season, which saw Southampton dragged into the relegation zone. He was replaced with Luton Town manager Nathan Jones. However, after losing nine of 14 games in charge, Jones was sacked as the team dropped to the bottom of the league. Rubén Sellés took charge until the end of the season, and despite victories over Chelsea and fellow strugglers Leicester City, he was unable to keep Southampton in the Premier League. On 13 May 2023, Southampton's eleven-year stay in the top flight came to an end after a 2–0 home loss to Fulham resulted in their relegation to the EFL Championship.
