Teams on hiatus or folded
- ^ A Defending 2022 national runner-up Crossfire Redmond was split into two teams for the 2023 season, Crossfire Red and Crossfire White. The determination on which team is "new" vs "renamed" is subjective. However Crossfire's 2022 head coach Bill Colello is coaching Red in 2023 and 2022 assistant coach Rory King is also on Red's roster. Therefore on this page Crossfire Red will be considered the renamed Crossfire Redmond while Crossfire White is listed as a new team.
- ^ B No information exists about Global Soccer Pathways joining the NPSL for the 2023 season. Additionally the coaching staff listed on the league's website is identical to Naples United FC's staff for this season and the team page's url has Naples United in it. However, this is not a "rebrand" since Naples United FC is also competing in the Sunshine Conference alongside GSP. Until proven otherwise this team will be considered a "new team".
