The 2022–23 season was F.C. Motagua's 76th season in existence and the club's 57th consecutive season in the top fight of Honduran football. In addition to the domestic league, the club also competed in the 2022 CONCACAF League and the 2023 CONCACAF Champions League.^[1]

Overview[edit]

After winning their 18th title last season, the club tried to repeat under the management of Hernán Medina. In the first semester, the club was able to reach the 2022 CONCACAF League semifinals, where they lost to hometown rivals C.D. Olimpia. In December, they reach the finals of the Apertura season, however, felt short grabbing the title. On 2 February 2023, coach Hernán Medina was sacked due to poor results. A few hours later, former defender Ninrrol Medina was appointed as new manager. In the first semester of 2023, the club qualified to the play-offs stage but was not able to reach the semifinals for the first time in 10 years after losing to C.D. Marathón.
