The 2022–23 CSA 4-Day Series was a first-class cricket competition taking place in South Africa from October 2022 to March 2023.[1] It was the second edition of the post-franchise era and retained the two-division league format introduced the previous year, with the teams in each division unchanged.
The Division 2 teams of Limpopo and Mpumalanga were re-awarded first-class status in October 2022,[2] meaning that unlike the previous year all matches played in the competition would be considered first-class cricket.
