The 2022–23 National T20 Cup (also known as Kingdom Valley National T20 Cup 2022-23, for sponsorship reasons) was a Twenty20 domestic cricket competition played in Pakistan.[3] It was the 19th season of the National T20 Cup, with the tournament starting from 30 August 2022 and the final being played on 19 September 2022.[4][5] In August 2022, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed the fixtures of the tournament.[6] Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were the defending champions.[7]
