The 2023 Major League Soccer season is the upcoming 28th season of Major League Soccer (MLS), the top professional soccer league in the United States and Canada. The league will have 29 clubs following the addition of St. Louis City SC as an expansion team.

Preseason for the 2023 season will start in January 2023 and run into February.[1] The regular season will be paused from July 21 to August 19 for the month-long Leagues Cup, during which time MLS teams will play Liga MX opponents.[2] In June 2022, Apple Inc. and MLS announced a ten-year partnership for the broadcast and streaming rights to all MLS and Leagues Cup games, as well as select MLS Next and MLS Next Pro games, on the Apple TV platform.[3]

Los Angeles FC is the reigning Supporters' Shield winner.
