2022–23 United Counties League

The 2022–23 season was the 116th in the history of the United Counties League, a football competition in England. The league operated three divisions in the English football league system, the Premier Divisions North and South at Step 5 and Division One at Step 6.

The allocations for Steps 5 and 6 this season were announced by The Football Association on 12 May 2022, and were subject to appeals.

Premier Division North
The Premier Division featured 15 clubs which competed in the division last season, along with five new clubs.
 * Promoted from Division One:
 * Belper United
 * Kimberley Miners Welfare
 * Transferred from the Northern Counties East League
 * AFC Mansfield
 * Sherwood Colliery
 * Plus:
 * Wisbech Town, relegated from the Northern Premier League

Also, Newark were renamed Newark and Sherwood United.

Premier Division South
The Premier Division featured 15 clubs which competed in the division last season, along with three new clubs:
 * Histon, relegated from the Northern Premier League
 * March Town United, transferred from the Eastern Counties League
 * Milton Keynes Irish, transferred from the Spartan South Midlands League

The club finishing the season in second position was initially required to play in an inter-step playoff with a team from step 4. Due to ground grading failures higher up the pyramid, three step 4 clubs were reprieved, and the three step 5 runners-up with the highest PPG (points per game) were automatically promoted. Rugby Town were one of those three.

Division One
Division One featured 16 clubs which competed in the division last season, along with six new clubs.
 * Promoted from the Central Midlands Alliance:
 * Bildworth Welfare
 * Newark Town
 * Transferred from the Northern Counties East League:
 * Clipstone
 * Rainworth Miners Welfare
 * Plus:
 * Grantham Town academy, promoted from the Lincolnshire League
 * Southwell City, promoted from the Nottinghamshire Senior League
