The 2022–23 season is the 91st season in the existence of Wigan Athletic Football Club and the club's first season back in the Championship since the 2019–20 season following promotion last season. In addition to the league, they will also compete in the 2022–23 FA Cup and the 2022–23 EFL Cup.

On 11 March 2023, Wigan released a statement explaining that there was a delay in meeting wage obligations, due to liquidity issues and that the EFL are aware of the situation.[1]

On 20 March 2023, Wigan were deducted three points by the EFL, having previously been given a suspended penalty for a similar issue. They were also charged, and sanctioned for failing to meet terms of contracts in June, July and October 2022.[2] On 19 May, the EFL deducted three points from the club's 2022–23 season total; Wigan therefore finished the season on 39 points, 10 points from safety.[3]

On 29 April 2023, Wigan were relegated back to League One after a 1-1 draw with Reading.
