The 2023 Major League Rugby season is the sixth season of Major League Rugby, the professional rugby union competition sanctioned by USA Rugby. The regular season began on February 17, 2023.

The Chicago Hounds made their debut this season, while the Austin Gilgronis and LA Giltinis withdrew from the competition. This leaves a total of 12 teams competing; 6 teams in each conference, with the Chicago Hounds being added to the Western Conference.

Teams and format

The 12 teams will contest the regular season, with 6 in each of the Eastern and Western Conferences. Each club will play two games against each of the other five clubs in their conference (one at home and one away each) and one game against each of the six clubs in the other conference.

Conference rankings at the end of the regular season will determine each team's placement in the post season, known as the Championship Series:

• Teams ranked 2nd in their conference will host the team ranked 3rd, as part of the Eliminators.
• The team in the conference ranked 1st will receive a bye, and host the winner of their conference's Eliminator, to determine the Conference champion.
• Both Conference champions will then contest the Championship final. The winners of the Championship final will lift the MLR Shield, and become the 2023 Major League Rugby Champions. On March 16, it was announced by the league that the Championship Final would be held at SeatGeek Stadium in Chicago, on July 8, 2023.
