The 2023 PBA D-League Aspirants' Cup is the tenth Aspirants' Cup of the PBA D-League, the official minor league basketball organization owned by the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).
Each team will play the other teams once in the elimination round. The top two teams advance to the semifinals outright. The next two teams have the twice-to-beat advantage against the next two teams in the quarterfinals. One team is eliminated. Both the semifinals and finals are best-of-three series.[1]
There are seven teams in the tournament, with six college-backed teams, and a team by the Philippine Sports Performance (PSP). An eighth team, from Saint Clare College of Caloocan, withdrew days prior to the opening due to budget issues.[2]
