The 2023 Canadian Premier League season was the fifth season of the Canadian Premier League, the top level of Canadian soccer. The CPL Shield was won by Cavalry FC who finished first in the regular season by a 13 point margin. In the CPL final, Forge FC defeated Cavalry FC 2–1 in Hamilton to capture the North Star Cup. In doing so, Forge became league champions for the fourth time in five seasons. Both title winning clubs qualified for the newly expanded 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup.

Team and rule changes

Eight teams competed in the 2023 season with the debut of Vancouver FC, and the dissolution of FC Edmonton.{{Cite web|date=November 10, 2021|title=Canadian Premier League Announces Expansion in Vancouver|url=https://canpl.ca/article/canadian-premier-league-announces-expansion-in-vancouver|access-date=December 6, 2021|website=Canadian Premier League}}{{Cite web|date=November 21, 2022|title=Canadian Premier League terminates Fath Sports' right to operate FC Edmonton|url=https://canpl.ca/article/canadian-premier-league-terminates-fath-sports-right-to-operate-fc-edmonton|access-date=November 21, 2022|website=Canadian Premier League}} The league's playoff structure changed to a five-team Page playoff system with four elimination matches and one non-elimination match.

The league's player compensation budget increased by $175,000 compared to 2022.{{cite web|url=https://canpl.ca/article/canadian-premier-league-announces-increases-to-salary-cap|title=Canadian Premier League Announces Increases to Salary Cap|website=Canadian Premier League|date=November 8, 2022}} Teams were required to spend between $750,000 and $1,025,000 on their 20–23 player rosters with a minimum of $30,000 per player. A team making full use of the U-21 salary rule could reach a compensation maximum of $1,125,000. In July 2023, the CPL introduced the Exceptional Youth Talent (EYT) designation which teams can apply to two U-18 players who are on standard contracts. EYT players do not count towards the 23 player roster limit and a portion of their salaries do not count towards the cap.{{cite web |last1=Jacques |first1=John |title=CPL Expands Roster Sizes With New 'Exceptional Youth Talent' Rule |url=https://northerntribune.ca/canadian-premier-league-exceptional-young-talent/ |website=Northern Tribune |access-date=14 March 2024 |date=20 July 2023}}

Playoffs

The 2023 season used the Page playoff system. The team who finished first in the regular-season table would play the team who finished second, and the winner would host the final. The fourth- and fifth-placed teams would play in a play-in round, and the winner of this game would then play the third-placed team in a quarter-final. The quarter-final winner would play the loser of the game between the first and second-placed teams for the other spot in the final.{{cite web |last1=Jacques |first1=John |title=The Majority Of CPL Teams Will Be Included In New Playoff Format |url=https://northerntribune.ca/canadian-premier-league-playoff-format-2023/ |website=Northern Tribune |access-date=March 16, 2023 |date=March 15, 2023}}
