The tournament will follow a similar schedule to the 2022 season, with 84 matches played in a round-robin, followed by finals in a knockout format.[2] The season is expected to run from Friday 24 February 2023, culminating in a final to be played on Saturday 24 June, before the start of the 2023 mid-year international window.[2]

The Fijian Drua, who were based in Australia for the 2022 season due to complications surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, opened their permanent home base in Nadi, Fiji ahead of the 2023 season.[3] In 2023, the team will play its home games at Churchill Park in Lautoka and HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.[4] Moana Pasifika will continue to be based in Auckland, New Zealand, but will play a match at Apia Park in Samoa in 2023.[5] The Waratahs will also have a new home venue in 2023, moving to the newly built Allianz Stadium.[6]

Competition format

Similarly to the 2022 season, the 12 participating teams will each play 14 regular season games: 7 home games and 7 away games, although the 2023 season will once again feature a Super Round, during which all teams will play their round 2 games at AAMI Park in Melbourne. All six fixtures of Round 2 will be held at the stadium between Friday 3 March and Sunday 5 March.[7] The 14 games include 11 round-robin games against the other participating teams and 3 additional "rivalry" games (derby matches), in which they play another team for the second time in a home-and-away format. Each team will also have one bye week.[8]

The teams will be ranked 1 to 12 on one competition table based on competition points earned during the regular season. The top eight teams at the conclusion of the regular season will qualify for the play-offs. In the quarter-finals, the first-ranked team plays the eighth-ranked team, the second-ranked team plays the seventh-ranked, the third-ranked plays the sixth-ranked and the fourth-ranked team plays the fifth-ranked. The quarter-final winners progress to the semi-finals, and the winners of the semi-finals advance to the final. The higher ranked team will host each play-off match.[8]
