The 2022–23 season was the 144th season in the existence of Everton Football Club and the club's 69th consecutive season in the top flight of English football. In addition to the league, they also competed in the FA Cup and the EFL Cup.

Everton were in danger of relegation for the entire Premier League season, the Toffees ultimately preserved their top flight status with a 1–0 win over Bournemouth, thus avoiding a return to the second tier of English football for the first time since the 1953–54 season.
