The 2023 Bacoor City Strikers season was the fourth the season of the franchise in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL).
Despite a playoff appearance last season, the Strikers looked to improve from their worst season yet in terms of win percentage. With the additions of Michael Cañete, James Kwekuteye, and Jhan Nermal, as well as reigning Defensive Player of the Year Mark Yee, Bacoor City rocketed up to a 23–5 record, claiming the top seed of the South Division as well as their best season in terms of win percentage.
The Strikers were left stunned following a game 1 loss to Iloilo in the division quarterfinals,[1] but persevered and won the series. They then swept the reigning South Division champions Zamboanga and well as perennial contenders Batangas City to reach the 2023 MPBL finals against the Pampanga Giant Lanterns.[2][3] Despite a couple of close efforts, Bacoor City would end up getting swept themselves, ending the season as runners-up.[4][5]
ultimately returning to the MPBL in 2026
The team played all of their home games this season at Strike Gymnasium.
