The 2023 Brisbane Broncos season was the 36th in the club's rugby league football history. Competing in the 2023 NRL season, the captain Adam Reynolds and head coach Kevin Walters continued in their roles from the previous year.
At the start of the final round (27) of the regular season, Brisbane was positioned on top of the NRL ladder. Having qualified for the finals, a significant number of regular players were rested. The Melbourne Storm subsequently won 32-22 at Suncorp Stadium and by the end of round 27, Brisbane missed out on their first minor premiership win since 2000 due to a lesser points differential than the Penrith Panthers.[2] Notwithstanding, Brisbane qualified to play Penrith in the 2023 NRL Grand Final at Accor Stadium on 1 October; however, Brisbane conceded the largest comeback in NRL Grand Final history in the final twenty minutes to lose 24-26.[3]
The Broncos also fielded a team in the NRL Women's Premiership.
The following player movements happened across the previous season, off-season and pre-season.[4]
