The 2023 Malaysia Super League (Malay: Liga Super Malaysia 2023) was the 20th season of the Malaysia Super League, the top-tier professional football league in Malaysia since its establishment in 2004, and the 42nd season of top-flight Malaysian football overall.

It is the first season after restructuring, with 18 teams (instead of 12). However, MFL announced there will be only 16 teams as they rejected both Sarawak United and Melaka United due to failed licensing appeal. The league shrunk to 15 teams after Petaling Jaya City officially withdrawn due to the expansion and increased foreign player quota, which are diverted from the club's main vision. On 5 January 2023, UiTM officially withdrawn due to the financial problems. The new season therefore has 14 teams, kicking-off on 24 February.
The defending champion from the previous season is Johor Darul Ta'zim.

Each team in the Super League can register 9 foreign players, but only 5 import players can be fielded at any one time. The 5 import players must consist of 3 foreign players, 1 Asian player, and 1 ASEAN player. Only 1 import player can be on the bench.[24]
