The 2023 Ottawa Redblacks season is the ninth season for the team in the Canadian Football League. The Redblacks will attempt to qualify for the playoffs for the first time since 2018 and improve upon their league-worst 4–14 record from 2022.[1] The team will attempt to win the second Grey Cup in Redblacks history and 11th in professional Ottawa football history.
The 2023 CFL season is the second season for Shawn Burke as general manager.[2] After Bob Dyce served as the interim head coach to end the 2022 season, this will be his first full season as the team's head coach.[3][4]

CFL National Draft
The 2023 CFL Draft took place on May 2, 2023.[7] The Redblacks had ten selections in the eight-round draft.[8] The team had the first selection in each round of the draft after finishing last in the 2022 league standings (losing the tie-breaker to the Edmonton Elks), not including traded picks.[9] This was the first time that Ottawa selected first overall since the 2015 CFL Draft.
Notably, the team acquired additional second-round and third-round selections after trading the rights to Woodly Appolon to the Edmonton Elks and Terry Williams to the BC Lions.[10][11] The Redblacks also traded their fourth-round pick to the Edmonton Elks in exchange for Nick Arbuckle.[12] The team also upgraded their eighth-round selection to another seventh-round selection after trading Llevi Noel to the Elks.[13]
