{{Short description|Football league season}}
The '''2023 Liga Panameña de Fútbol''' or '''2023 Liga LPF''' (known as the '''Liga LPF Tigo''' for sponsorship reasons) was the 36th season of the [[Liga Panameña de Fútbol]] (LPF), the top-flight [[association football|football]] league in [[Panama]], and the fourth under the management of the Liga Panameña de Fútbol. The season began on 13 January 2023, when the Apertura tournament started,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://lpf.com.pa/se-confirma-la-fecha-oficial-para-el-inicio-del-torneo-apertura-2023/|title=Se confirma la fecha oficial para el inicio del Torneo Apertura 2023|publisher=[[Liga Panameña de Fútbol]]|website=lpf.com.pa/|date=19 December 2022|language=es}}</ref> and ended on 12 November 2023 with the Clausura tournament Final.

==Competition format==
Same as previous years, the season was divided into two championships: Torneo Apertura and Torneo Clausura. Both [[Apertura and Clausura]] were played under the same format which consisted in a Classification stage, where the 12 teams were geographically divided into the Eastern and Western Conferences (6 teams per conference); Play-offs, Semifinals and Final.<ref name="Regulations">{{cite web|url=https://lpf.com.pa/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/REGLAMENTO-DE-COMPETENCIA-LPF-2023.pdf|title=REGLAMENTO COMPETENCIA LPF TEMPORADA 2023|publisher=Liga Panameña de Fútbol|website=lpf.com.pa|date=27 December 2022|orig-date=Approved on 23 December 2023|access-date=5 March 2023|language=es}}</ref>

Within each conference, teams played each other twice on a double round-robin format (home and away). In addition, each team played one game against all the 6 teams in the opposite conference for a total of 16 games per team in the classification stage. Winners of each conference qualified directly to the semi-finals, whilst the second and third placed teams advanced to the play-offs stage.

The Play-offs stage was played on a [[Single-elimination tournament|single-leg]] format between the second placed team of each conference against the third placed team of the opposite conference, with the second placed teams hosting the matches. Winners of play-offs advanced to semi-finals to play against the first placed team of each conference on a home-and-away [[Two-legged tie|two-legged]] basis. Winners of the semifinals played the final on a single-leg match at a venue and date determined by the LFP, with highest team ranked in the classification stage acting as the "home" team for administrative purposes.
