The tournament featured 16 players (eight 'elite' PDC players and eight regional qualifiers) and was held at the Forum Copenhagen in Copenhagen, Denmark on 20–21 January 2023.

Dimitri Van den Bergh was the defending champion, after defeating Gary Anderson 11–5 in the 2022 final.{{Cite web |title=Van den Bergh dominates in Denmark to claim Nordic Darts Masters glory |url=https://www.pdc.tv/news/2022/06/10/van-den-bergh-dominates-denmark-claim-nordic-darts-masters-glory |access-date=2024-01-22 |website=PDC |language=en}} However, he lost to Gerwyn Price in the quarter-finals.
