The 2022–23 season was FC Nitra's first season in the fourth tier of Slovak football following relegation from the third tier. The club finished 14th out of 16 teams in the fourth tier.
The club continued to face serious financial difficulties during the season, which culminated in July 2023 when the District Court in Nitra declared FC Nitra bankrupt. As a result, the club did not enter the following season and withdrew all of its teams from their respective competitions. Due to the club being declared bankrupt, the players were free to leave the club after the season. However, in November 2023, the Regional Court in Bratislava overturned the decision of the District Court in Nitra, allowing the club to compete in the 2024–25 season. FC Nitra also did not participate in the Slovak Cup during the 2022–23 season because it did not obtain the required licence.
During the season, the club changed managers, with Jozef Kozák being replaced by Dušan Borko on 10 February 2023.
