This season started in October 2022 in Sölden, Austria, and concluded in mid-March 2023 at the finals in Soldeu, Andorra.
Marco Odermatt and Mikaela Shiffrin were the defending overall champions from the 2021–22 season. They each successfully defended the title.
On 24 January, Shiffrin passed the previous record held by Lindsey Vonn for the most wins in the women's World Cup (83), and was tied with overall record holder Ingemar Stenmark (86). On 11 March, Shiffrin made her 87th World Cup victory by winning the women's slalom in Åre, thereby overtaking Stenmark's 34-year-old record.
47th FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in France, the highlight of the season, was held from 6–19 February 2023, on two different but nearby ski venues in French Alps; the "Roc de Fer" course in Méribel hosted all women's events and all parallel events, and the "L'Éclipse" course in Courchevel hosted the five classic men's events (downhill, Super-G, giant slalom, slalom, and combined).
There have been many cancelations and replacements in the season due to hard weather conditions or lack of snow. The only parallel event for both men and women was canceled and not replaced, as well as four downhills for the men and two downhills and a Super-G for the women.
