Football league season
The 2022–23 Benin Premier League was a top-flight football league in Benin . 36 teams took part in a multi-stage championship: a 16-match regular season followed by a championship round and two regional relegation rounds. Coton were crowned champions and received 10 million in prize money.[ 1]
In the north group, Énergie FC were relegated with six points. In the south group, Calavi-based Sitatunga were relegated after two seasons in the top flight. They lost their final match 3–1 to Avrankou Omnisports, who would have been relegated had they not won.[ 2]
League changes
Bani Gansé of Banikoara and JS Ouidah were promoted from the second division.
Eternel FC were renamed OFMAS-SAD after receiving sponsorship, while UPI-ONM changed their name to Aziza FC.[ 3] [ 4]
