The 2023 National Premier Soccer League season is the 21st season of the National Premier Soccer League and part of the 111th season of FIFA-sanctioned soccer in the United States. It is also the league's 20th anniversary of its founding in 2003.
The regular season began on March 25 and concluded on July 9. A total of 94 teams participated in this season.
For the 2023 season, the Pacific Conference was redivided into the Northwest and Southwest Conferences. The Heartland Conference moved from the South Region to the Midwest and was joined by the newly created Gateway Conference. The Southeast Conference returned to the South Region after being moved to the East in 2020. Finally, the Keystone Conference was divided into East and West within the East Region.

Note: Games are hosted by the highest seed unless noted otherwise
Note: The Golden Gate Conference playoff matches were determined by random draw. The teams that finished in the top four of the regular season (El Farolito, Napa Valley 1839 FC, San Ramon FC, Oakland SC) were placed in Pot A, teams that finished in the bottom four (Sacramento Gold FC, Sonoma County Sol, FC Davis, Oakland Stompers) were placed in Pot B. Pot A teams were drawn against Pot B teams, with the former hosting the conference quarterfinals. The winners of Game 1 and 3 (shown below in order from top to bottom) will host the semifinal matches.
The conference semifinal winners will advance to the West Region Semifinal round, which will double as the conference championship final. The remaining teams will be seeded #1 & #2 based on regular season PPG.
