This year will be the first season where the league will be divided in two conferences. The top four teams in each conference will qualify for the playoffs, unless the Vancouver Bandits finish in fifth place in the Western Conference, where the fourth-place team will be eliminated instead; as hosts, the Bandits automatically qualify for the semi-finals, along with the first-place team from the Eastern Conference. The playoffs commence with the third- and fourth-placed teams in play-in matches, with the winners facing their own conference's second-place teams in the quarterfinals. The quarterfinal winners will then face their respective division semi-final opponent.[1]

On March 16, 2023, CEBL announced a tv deal with TSN, TSN will televise weekly games and broadcast the rest of the games online, they will also televise the championship weekend.[2]
