The 2022–23 Vegas Golden Knights season was the sixth season for the National Hockey League franchise that started playing in the 2017–18 season.

On March 30, 2023, the Golden Knights clinched a playoff berth after the Nashville Predators lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins, returning to the playoffs after missing the previous postseason.[2] The Golden Knights then clinched their third Pacific Division championship, as well as the first seed in the Western Conference, with a victory over the Seattle Kraken on April 13, 2023.[3]

For the fourth time in their six-year history, the Golden Knights advanced to the Western Conference Finals, where they defeated the Dallas Stars in six games to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals for the second time in team history.[4] The Golden Knights defeated the Florida Panthers in five games to win their first Stanley Cup.[5]
