Source: 2023 Toronto Argonauts season

The 2023 Toronto Argonauts season was the 65th season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 150th year of existence. The Argonauts entered the season as defending champions following their victory in the 109th Grey Cup. The team attempted to win their league-leading 19th Grey Cup championship, but were defeated by the Montreal Alouettes in the East Final.
The Argonauts qualified for the playoffs for a third consecutive season following their week 11 victory over the Montreal Alouettes. In the following week, on September 15, 2023, the Argonauts defeated the Alouettes again to secure first place in the division for the third straight year, which was the first time since 1982–1984 that the franchise captured three straight division titles. The team also started the season with an 11–1 record which was the best start to a season in franchise history. The Argonauts also set a CFL record as the earliest to clinch a first place finish with six games remaining in an 18-game schedule. The previous record was held by the 2009 Montreal Alouettes, who clinched first place in the East Division with five games remaining. In the final game of the regular season, the Argonauts won their 16th game, tying the 1989 Edmonton Eskimos for the CFL record for most wins in a regular season. However, their season came to a shocking end as they were upset by the Montreal Alouettes in the East Final.
The 2023 CFL season was the third season for head coach Ryan Dinwiddie and the fourth season for Michael Clemons as general manager. The team held their training camp at the University of Guelph for the second consecutive season.
