The 2023 Chilean Primera División, known as Campeonato Betsson 2023 for sponsorship purposes until 15 October 2023,[1] [2] was the 93rd season of the Chilean Primera División, Chile's top-flight football league. The season began on 20 January and ended on 9 December 2023.[3]
Huachipato were the champions, clinching their third league title on the final round of the season with a 2–0 win over Audax Italiano and a 1–0 defeat for Cobresal at the hands of Unión Española on 8 December 2023, regaining the title after 11 years and being the first team from outside Santiago to win the title since 2015.[4] Colo-Colo were the defending champions.
16 teams took part in the league in this season: the top 14 teams from the 2022 tournament, plus the 2022 Primera B champions Magallanes and the winners of the promotion play-off Deportes Copiapó. The promoted teams replaced Deportes La Serena and Deportes Antofagasta, who were relegated to Primera B at the end of the 2022 season.[5] [6]
