2022–23 Essex Senior Football League

Football league season

The 2022–23 season was the 52nd in the history of the Essex Senior Football League, a football competition in England.

The proposed constitution for this season was published on 15 May 2022,^[1] based on allocations for Steps 5 and 6 announced by the FA three days earlier, and was subject to appeals.

The league featured 16 clubs which competed in the division last season, along with four new clubs.

Promoted from the Eastern Counties League:
- Buckhurst Hill
- Halstead Town

Relegated from the Isthmian League:
- Barking
- Romford

Enfield were champions, winning second Essex Senior League title and were promoted to the Isthmian League for the first time as a reformed club. Runners-up Redbridge won interstep playoff and also were promoted after seven seasons in the Essex Senior League.
