The 2022–23 Jordanian Premier Basketball League, also known as the CFI Premier Basketball League for sponsorship reasons,[1] was the 69th season of the Jordanian Premier Basketball League (JPL), the top-tier competition for professional men's teams in Jordan. The season began on 26 December 2022 and ended on 30 April 2023.

Al-Ahli were crowned as champions, after defeating Orthodox in a 3-2 JPL Finals series.[2] Al-Riyadi Aramex also finished in third-place of the competition.[3]

Al-Wehdat were the defending champions, having won the previous 2021–22 season.

Format

[edit]

During the first round of the competition, 6 teams competed in a double round robin format, with each team playing home-and-away games against every other team.[4]

The top four teams from the first round advanced to a second group stage, where they again competed in a double round-robin format of home and away matches.[4]

The top three teams from the second round progressed to the third round, which was conducted as another double round-robin round. The two highest-ranking teams then qualified for the finals.[4]

The finals were played as a best-of-five series, with the first team to win three games crowned as champion.

Teams

[edit]

6 teams competed in the competition, where Al-Riyadi Aramex and Al-Ashrafieh replaced previous champions Al-Wehdat and Al-Jalil.
