The 2023 Primera División season (officially the Copa de Primera Tigo – Ueno 2023 for sponsorship reasons) was the 89th season of the Paraguayan Primera División, the top-flight professional football league in Paraguay. The season consisted of two tournaments, Apertura and Clausura, and it began on 27 January and ended on 1 December 2023.[1] The fixtures for the season were announced on 14 November 2022.[2]

In the Torneo Apertura, Libertad were the champions, clinching their twenty-third title with three matches in hand following a 1–0 win over Olimpia and a 2–1 defeat for Cerro Porteño against General Caballero (JLM) on 20 May.[3] Libertad also won the Torneo Clausura, securing their twenty-fourth league championship with two games in hand and a 1–0 victory over Sportivo Luqueño on 12 November.[4] Olimpia started the season as defending champions, having won the 2022 Clausura tournament.[5]
