The SuperLega Credem Banca 2022–23 was the 78th season of the highest tier domestic division in the Italian Men's Volleyball League system since establishment in 1946. The league organized under the supervision of Federazione Italiana Pallavolo. The season started on 1 October 2022. Conad Reggio Emilia was supposed to be promoted to SuperLega after winning the 2021–22 Serie A2 but their home arena failed to meet the standard of SuperLega. Hence, Emma Villas Aubay Siena was promoted to SuperLega instead. Itas Trentino defeated Cucine Lube Civitanova and won the three games of the best-of-five series of the final to reclaimed the SuperLega title after eight years.
