Banks O' Dee were the reigning champions but were unable to defend their title after gaining promotion to the Highland League. Culter won a record eighth title, and their first since 2013–14, winning all but two of their first twenty-four games, giving them an unassailable five-point lead over Hermes, ahead of the latter's final game.

As a result, Culter entered the 2023–24 Scottish Cup at the preliminary round stage.
