This was the last season for the league to represent the third tier league of the Egyptian football league system. Starting from the 2023–24 season, two new leagues, Second Division A (professional league, second tier) and Second Division B (semi-professional league, third tier) replaced the existing Egyptian Second Division; which meant that the Third Division would be level four starting from that season.[1]
Makadi, Nogoom, and Raya Ghazl Kafr El Dawar won the promotion play-offs, and promoted to the inaugural edition of the Egyptian Second Division A.[2][3][4]

Format
The league consists of 142 teams divided geographically into 13 groups, with each group containing a different number of teams, depending on clubs' hometowns:[5]
- Group A, B, C and D for teams from Upper Egypt.
- Group E and F for teams from Greater Cairo.
- Group G for teams from north-eastern governorates.
- Group H for teams from Sinai Peninsula.
- Group I, J and K for teams from central and northern governorates.
- Group L for teams from Alexandria and Matruh.
The number of promoted and relegated teams differs from a group to another, according to the competition's regulation for the 2022–23 season.[6]
The top team from each group advance to the promotion play-offs, to decide the three promoted teams to the inaugural Egyptian Second Division A season. Teams that lose the play-offs, alongside teams finishing second (and third in some groups) in the regular season, will participate in the first-ever Egyptian Second Division B season, which will represent the third tier league of the Egyptian football league system starting from the following season. Teams finishing in last place (and second from bottom in some groups) will be relegated to the Egyptian Fourth Division.
Group H is divided into two groups, H1 for teams from North Sinai, and H2 for teams from South Sinai. The top team from H1 advance to the promotion play-offs, while the second-placed team in that group face the first-placed team from H2 to decide the promoted team to the second division B. The last placed team in both groups face each other to decide the relegated team to the fourth division.
