The 2022–23 Zamalek SC season was the club's 112th season in existence and the 64th consecutive season in the top flight of Egyptian football. In addition to the domestic league, Zamalek participated in this season's editions of the Egypt Cup, the EFA Cup and the CAF Champions League.

Overview

Zamalek had a strong start to the league, remaining undefeated until their tenth match. They opened with a 2-0 win against Smouha, then followed it up with another 2-0 victory over Ceramica Cleopatra. In the fifth round, they settled for a draw against ENPPI, and repeated this result in their game against Al-Masry. After that they achieved an impressive 4-0 clean sheet win over Vanguards of the Army and managed to clinch a 1-0 win in their postponed match versus Pyramids. The seventh round of the season saw Zamalek gain a significant victory against National Bank in the closing moments. To cap off the year, they remained undefeated in the league, coming away with a 3-1 win over Ismaily.

In the first game of the year, Zamalek was defeated surprisingly 2–1 by Aswan. This was only their second loss to the home team.^[1]
