The 2023 Hamilton Tiger-Cats season was the 65th season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 73rd overall. The Tiger-Cats qualified for the playoffs for the fifth consecutive year following their week 17 win over the Calgary Stampeders.[1] The team attempted to win their ninth Grey Cup championship in a year that the club is scheduled to host the 110th Grey Cup, but were defeated in the East Semi-Final by the Montreal Alouettes.

The 2023 CFL season was the fourth season under head coach Orlondo Steinauer and the second with Steinauer leading the personnel department as the president of football operations.[2][3]
