The 2023 New York Yankees season was the 121st season for the New York Yankees franchise in Major League Baseball.

The Yankees re-signed general manager Brian Cashman in December 2022, and announced Brian Sabean as executive adviser to Cashman on January 2, 2023.

The Yankees, entering the season as defending AL East champions, opened on March 30 at home against the San Francisco Giants and finished on October 1 on the road against the Kansas City Royals.

Despite a strong 48–38 start, they endured several losing streaks and went 34–42 the rest of the season. They finished in fourth place in their division, 19 games behind the Baltimore Orioles, and were eliminated from playoff contention on September 24, missing the postseason for the first time since 2016.

Despite the disappointing season, they secured a winning record in their penultimate game, defeating the Kansas City Royals on September 30. Their record of 82–80 was the team's worst since 1992, but was still enough to extend their streak of winning seasons to 31 years — the longest active winning season streak in North American professional sports, which as of today, is still going on. Despite the winning record, the Yankees were outscored on the season, 698 runs allowed to 673 scored, giving them a run differential of −25 and a Pythagorean expectation of 78–84.

The Yankees drew an average home attendance of 40,862 over 80 games, the second-highest average attendance figure in the league.

Offseason Rule changes Pursuant to the CBA, the following rule changes were instituted for the 2023 season:

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);

November 18 – re-signed utility player Isiah Kiner-Falefa to a 1-year, $6 million contract. November 18 – claimed right-handed relief pitcher Junior Fernández off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates.

March 29 – signed outfielder / first baseman Franchy Cordero to a 1-year, split-deal contract ($1 million in the major leagues and $180,000 in the minor leagues).
