The Premier Division reverted to a 16-team division, with Arthurlie, Cambuslang Rangers, and Petershill promoted from the tier 7 Conferences A, B & C respectively. Coupled with a 1–1 draw for Darvel at Hurlford United, a 5–0 win for Beith Juniors over Kilwinning Rangers on 29 April 2023 secured the league title. However, they were ineligible for promotion as they do not hold an SFA club licence.
