On 11 March 2023, Wigan released a statement explaining that there was a delay in meeting wage obligations, due to liquidity issues and that the EFL are aware of the situation.[1]

On 20 March 2023, Wigan were deducted three points by the EFL, having previously been given a suspended penalty for a similar issue. They were also charged, and sanctioned for failing to meet terms of contracts in June, July and October 2022.[2] On 19 May, the EFL deducted three points from the club's 2022–23 season total; Wigan therefore finished the season on 39 points, 10 points from safety.[3]

On 29 April 2023, Wigan were relegated back to League One after a 1-1 draw with Reading.
