2022–23 Lowland Football League
The 2022–23 Scottish Lowland Football League was the 10th season of the Lowland Football League, part of the fifth tier of the Scottish football pyramid system. Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic were the reigning champions, but were unable to defend their title following their promotion to Scottish League Two. Cowdenbeath became the third club to join the league via relegation from the SPFL, having lost the previous season's League Two play-off against Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic. East of Scotland League champions Tranent Juniors were promoted to the league, replacing founding league member Vale of Leithen who were relegated. The Spartans won their third league title on 8 April 2023 thanks to a 2–0 win over Tranent Juniors at Foresters Park, with two matches still to play. They beat 2022–23 Highland Football League champions Brechin City on penalties after drawing 3–3 in the pyramid play-off and then beat Albion Rovers 2–1 in the final, being promoted to Scottish League Two for the 2023–24 season.

Lowland League play-off
A three match round robin play-off was scheduled take place between the winners of the 2022–23 East of Scotland Football League, the 2022–23 South of Scotland Football League, and the 2022–23 West of Scotland Football League, subject to all three clubs meeting the required licensing criteria for promotion. Linlithgow Rose qualified for the play-off as the winners of the East of Scotland Football League. As it transpired, both the winners of the South of Scotland Football League (Abbey Vale), and the West of Scotland Football League (Beith Juniors) were ineligible for the play-off as neither held an SFA club licence. Linlithgow Rose were therefore automatically promoted. References
