The 2022–23 UAE President's Cup was the 46th edition of the UAE President's Cup.

Sharjah successfully defended their title from the previous year, after beating Al Ain in the final by a penalty shootout.

Format

This season saw a new competition format where all clubs from both Pro League and First Division entered at the round of 32, with the exeption of the defending champions Sharjah (who received a bye to the round of 16). The restructured schedule was a response to the previous season's competition being postponed due to a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification play off match against Australia.^[1]
