Source-derived summary

The 2022–23 Lebanese Basketball League, also known as the Division 1, is the 27th season of the Lebanese Basketball League (LBL), the top-tier competition for professional men's teams in Lebanon. The season began on 2 October 2022.

Beirut were the defending champions, having won the previous season. They finished fourth in the season, after losing to Sagesse 82–73 for 3rd place.

Teams

The league expanded from ten to twelve teams. Moutahed left the league, while Antranik, NSA and Leaders Club joined for this season.

Regular season

Before the season, Champville rebranded as Maristes due to a conflict between the school and the club. Also losing their homecourt, Maristes used the Central Court in Jounieh before using the Antoine Choueiri Stadium in Ghazir as homecourt.

Sagesse and Dynamo fought for the season lead before Dynamo stayed there after their home win against Sagesse. Beirut finished third after defeating Riyadi 105–99 at Riyadi's home court and the latter settled for fourth.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as sports season. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q118904883. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2022.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
