The 2022–23 season was Stade Malien men's basketball team's 62nd season in existence. They played in their first-ever Basketball Africa League (BAL) season, as well as in the Ligue 1.

Stade Malien qualified for the 2023 BAL season following a third place in the qualifying tournament, and made their debut in the league.[1] They surprisingly won the Sahara Conference title.[2] After a successful playoff run, the Blancs de Bamako finished in third place, after defeating Petro de Luanda in the playoff.[3] Aliou Diarra was named the BAL Defensive Player of the Year.
