The 2022–23 Arizona Coyotes season was the 44th season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on June 22, 1979, the 27th season since the franchise relocated from Winnipeg following the 1995–96 NHL season,[2] and the 51st overall season, including the World Hockey Association years. It was their first season playing their home games at Mullett Arena, which held the distinction of being the smallest venue in the National Hockey League in the modern 21st century based on seating capacity, accommodating just 4,600 spectators at maximum capacity.[3] This was also the last season where Coyotes games aired on Bally Sports Arizona after previously partnering with the network since the franchise's move to Phoenix, Arizona in 1996; following this season, the Coyotes moved their airing rights to Scripps Sports to air games both in Arizona and Utah, while Bally Sports ultimately shut down for good on October 21, 2023 after losing airing rights to the Coyotes months after already failing to secure airing rights to the Phoenix Suns and Arizona Diamondbacks earlier in the year. The Coyotes were eliminated from playoff contention on March 24, 2023, after a loss to the Colorado Avalanche.[4]
The team's preseason schedule was released on June 30, 2022.[5]
