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.[1]

The official schedule was released on 20 December 2022, with some matches to be rescheduled due to the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.[2]
