The 2023 Football NSW season is the 11th season of soccer in New South Wales under the banner of the National Premier Leagues. The season was the first under the revamped format which consists of three senior divisions in the state of New South Wales. Promotion and relegation were utilised for the first time after three years and the finals series was voided for this year, meaning the top-ranked team is awarded champion status.{{cite web |last1=D'Urbano |first1=Nick |title=NPL NSW Preview: New format, new teams, A-Leagues links galore |url=https://aleagues.com.au/news/npl-nsw-preview-new-format-new-teams-a-leagues-links-galore/ |publisher=A-Leagues |access-date=17 July 2024 |language=en-AU |date=2 February 2023}}
