The 2022–23 Premier League International Cup is the seventh season of the Premier League International Cup, a European club football competition organised by the Premier League for under-21 teams.

Bayern Munich were the defending champions, after beating Dinamo Zagreb 2–0 in the 2018–19 tournament's final, with the tournaments in 2019–20, 2020–21 and 2021–22 all being cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Bayern Munich did not take part in this edition, guaranteeing a new champion.
