The 2022–23 Brøndby IF season was Brøndby IF's 42nd consecutive season in top-division of the Danish football league, the 33rd consecutive in Danish Superliga, and the 57th as a football club. Besides the Superliga, the club also competed in the Danish Cup and this season's editions of the UEFA Europa Conference League. It was the fourth season with head coach Niels Frederiksen, after he replaced caretaker manager Martin Retov during the 2019–20 campaign.

The team started the season poorly and by the end of August were in the lower realms of the league table, where they remained until the winter break. As a result of the disappointing results, head coach Niels Frederiksen was sacked in November, and replaced by his former assistant Jesper Sørensen. By the end of March, results had improved somewhat and being in sixth place, they secured a spot in the championship round. The mixed results continued, and Brøndby finished the season in fifth place in the league table, missing out on European play-offs by a margin of seven points.
Brøndby also competed in two knock-out competitions, the UEFA Europa Conference League, and the Danish Cup. In Europe, they were eliminated in the third qualifying round to Basel after a penalty-shootout, and in the Danish Cup they suffered a humiliating 4–0 defeat to third tier Aarhus Fremad, also in the third round.
