The 2023 League1 British Columbia season was the second season of play for League1 British Columbia, a pro-am league in the Canadian soccer league system. Eight clubs participated in both the men's and women's divisions.
Format The regular season was contested by eight clubs and ran from April 29 to July 23, 2023. Each team played 14 games in a double round-robin format with seven games at home and seven on the road. The top four teams advanced to the playoffs with the Championship Final held on the BC Day long weekend. The men's and women's divisions used identical schedules with the two matches being played as double-headers on the same day.
Men's division The teams played each other team twice (home and away) for a 14-game season, with the top four teams advancing to the playoffs. The winner of the regular season were to qualify for the 2024 Canadian Championship. As the Victoria Highlanders did not return to the league in 2024, the Canadian Championship spot was later awarded to runner-ups, TSS Rovers.
