The 2022–23 Milwaukee Bucks season was the 55th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). On August 17, 2022, the NBA announced that the regular season for the league would begin October 18, 2022 and end on April 9, 2023. They won their fifth straight central division champion on March 28, 2023 after winning over the Detroit Pistons.[1]

With a final record of 58–24, the Bucks finished the regular season as the best record in the league for the third time in the past five seasons, and won the inaugural edition of the new Maurice Podoloff Trophy.

Despite this, the Bucks were eliminated by the 8-seeded Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs in five games, becoming the sixth 1-seed in league history to lose a playoff series against an 8-seed following the Seattle SuperSonics in 1994, the Miami Heat in 1999, the Dallas Mavericks in 2007, the San Antonio Spurs in 2011, and the Chicago Bulls in 2012.[2] It was also widely regarded by experts as one of the biggest upsets in NBA history.

Following their exit from the postseason, the Bucks fired head coach Mike Budenholzer after five seasons.[3]
