The 2023 FIDE Circuit was a system comprising the top chess tournaments in 2023, which serves as a qualification path for the Candidates Tournament 2024. Players receive points based on their performance and the strength of the tournament. A player's final Circuit score is the sum of their five best results of the year. The winner of the Circuit qualifies for the Candidates Tournament 2024 in Toronto, Canada, the winner of which qualifies for the World Chess Championship 2024.{{Cite web |title=FIDE revamp Candidates qualification system |url=https://chess24.com/en/read/news/fide-announce-new-candidates-qualification |date=2022-12-16 |access-date=2023-08-02 |website=chess24.com |language=en}}{{cite news|title=March 2023 FIDE Ratings: Gukesh & Aronian rise, Karjakin out|url=https://chess24.com/en/read/news/march-fide-ratings-gukesh-aronian-climb-karjakin-out|date=1 March 2023|first= Colin |last=McGourty|website=chess24.com|access-date=16 August 2023}}{{cite news|url=https://en.chessbase.com/post/fide-reforms-qualification-to-candidates|title=FIDE reforms the qualifications paths to the Candidates Tournament|date=16 December 2022|access-date=16 August 2023|website=chessbase.com}}{{cite news|url=https://www.chess.com/news/view/2024-candidates-tournaments-to-be-held-in-toronto|title=FIDE Candidates, Women's Candidates 2024 To Be Held In Toronto|website=chess.com|date=28 March 2023|first=Anthony|last=Levin|access-date=16 August 2023}}{{cite web|url=https://www.chessprofessionals.org/news/acp-statement-concerning-fide-circuit-and-changes-world-championship-cycle|title=ACP Statement Concerning the FIDE Circuit and Changes to the World Championship Cycle|date=17 December 2022|access-date=16 August 2023|work=Association of Chess Professionals}}

$w$ - Tournament weighting
1.0 - Standard classical tournaments
0.8 - World Rapid Championships
0.6 - World Blitz Championships and other Rapid tournaments
0.5 - Mixed Rapid & Blitz tournaments
