The 2023 Chicago Cubs season is the 152nd season of the Chicago Cubs franchise, the 148th in the National League, and the Cubs' 108th season at Wrigley Field. The Cubs are managed by David Ross, in his fourth year as Cubs manager, as members of Major League Baseball's National League Central division. The Cubs began the season March 30 at the Milwaukee Brewers and will also finish the season against the Brewers in Milwaukee on October 1.^[1]

Pursuant to the collective bargaining agreement entered into by the owners in players ending 2022 lockout, the Cubs will play every team in baseball at least one series and intra-division games will be reduced from 18 or 19 games to 13 games against each division opponent.^[2]

The Cubs finished the 2022 season 74–88, 19 games out of first place.^[3] They missed the playoffs for the second consecutive season.

On October 28, 2022, the team announced that hitting coach Greg Brown would not return.^[4] Cubs' minor league hitting coordinator, Dustin Kelly, was named the new hitting coach.^[5]

Pursuant to the CBA, new rule changes will be in place for the 2023 season:^[6]

• institution of a pitch clock between pitches;
• limits on pickoff attempts per plate appearance;
• limits on defensive shifts requiring two infielders to be on either side of second and be within the boundary of the infield; and
• larger bases (increased to 18-inch squares).
