The 2022–23 Nemzeti Bajnokság I (also known as 2022–23 OTP Bank Liga), also known as NB I, was the 124th season of top-tier football in Hungary. The league was officially named OTP Bank Liga for sponsorship reasons. Ferencváros were the defending champions. As the 2022 FIFA World Cup started on 20 November, the last round before stoppage was held on 12–13 November. The league resumed games on 28 January.
MTK Budapest and Gyirmót finished the 2021–22 Nemzeti Bajnokság I in the last two places and thus were relegated to NB II division.
The two relegated teams were replaced with the top two teams in 2021–22 Nemzeti Bajnokság II, champion Vasas and runner-up Kecskemét, each having the required licence for top-division play.
