The 2023 Canadian Soccer League season was the 26th season under the Canadian Soccer League name. The season commenced on May 28, 2023, with a tribute match while the regular season officially began on May 28, 2023. The season would conclude on September 16, 2023, with Scarborough SC winning their second regular season title.[1]

Originally a postseason was scheduled to occur around late September till early October but was canceled after the completion of the regular season.[2] Reasons for the cancelation varied from a lack of available playing venues to financial reasons.[2]

Summary

The regular season began in late May 2023 with seven teams vying for the league title and a playoff berth.[3][4] It became evident early on that the regular season title's primary contenders would be Scarborough SC or the Serbian White Eagles.[5][6] The Serbs strongly started the campaign in a winning fashion by initially producing a three-game undefeated streak until succumbing to Hamilton City in the early stages of the competition.[5] Despite the loss, the defending divisional champions would later regain the lead in the standings from Scarborough.[7]

On the Scarborough front, the team also had an impressive run in the early stages.[5] The eastern Toronto side also managed an undefeated run even usurping the top position from Serbia, when the original result of a controversial loss to debutant Dynamo Toronto was reversed in Scarborough's favor.[5] The club further benefited from a victory over the Serbs in their first encounter.[8] However, the lead was only temporary as the Serbs would regain leadership in the standings on a technicality.[7] This technicality stemmed from their original match where Scarborough failed to provide the proper documents regarding an acquired import.[7] Shortly after the disciplinary committee reversed the decision in Serbia's favor.[7]

Following the controversial match, the situation would remain the same throughout the majority of the season with the White Eagles holding the lead and with Scarborough trailing behind.[9] Ultimately, the winner of the regular season title would be decided on the final match of the season.[10] Before the final match, Serbia had a two-point advantage over Scarborough and required only a victory or a draw to secure the title.[10] In the final week of the competition, Scarborough managed to defeat the western Toronto side and claim their second divisional title.[1] Monetary issues among member clubs were the reason for the cancelation of the postseason as some members failed to fulfill their financial dues to the league.[1]

Changes from 2022

League membership increased to seven clubs with the addition of three expansion clubs.[11][4] The expansion sides included Dynamo Toronto FC, Ooty Black Pearl FC, and Weston United FC.[11] The acceptance of Dynamo Toronto marked the league's return to the city of Brampton in the Greater Toronto Area.[12] Ooty Black Pearl and Weston United are both ethnic association clubs representing the Indian and Brazilian communities in the Greater Toronto Area.[13][14] The two departing clubs were defending champions FC Continentals which requested a year-long hiatus and York Region Shooters.[11][5]

Hamilton City became a single entity once more as they previously fielded a hybrid team during the COVID-19 pandemic.[11] Brantford Galaxy was originally scheduled to compete but withdrew just before the commencement of the season.[11][15]

The league commenced with the Royal CSL Cup, a tribute match in honor of former league announcer Enio Perruzza who died in 2021.[11][16] All league matches were played in Mississauga, a suburb of Toronto with the first half played at Mattamy Sports Park and the remainder at the Paramount Centre fields.[11][6]
