The 2023 season was the Philadelphia Stars' second season in the United States Football League (USFL), their second season under head coach Bart Andrus and their first under general manager Michael Woods. With their fourth loss of the season against the Birmingham Stallions in Week 8, they failed to improve on their previous season where they went 6âÂÂ4 in the regular season. They failed to again qualify for the playoffs and avenge their narrow loss to the Stallions 33âÂÂ30 in the 2022 USFL Championship Game.
Shortly before the completion of the 2022 season, the USFL announced plans to move into two or four hubs for teams to play in. In November, the USFL was reportedly exploring options of having a hub in Metro Detroit, with possible locations being the Eastern Michigan Eagles' Rynearson Stadium and the Detroit Lions' Ford Field.
It was announced that the Stars would be playing their games in the Detroit, Michigan hub at Ford Field. They will share this hub with their North Division rival, the Michigan Panthers.
The Stars clinched the 7th pick in the 2023 USFL draft and hold the 7th pick in every round.
The Stars, like all other teams, have a 38-man active roster with a 7-man practice squad.
