The 2023 Latrobe Valley Soccer League season was the 72nd top-flight men's season of the Latrobe Valley Soccer League.
Fortuna 60 won the championship on the final day of the season, defeating rivals Falcons 2000 5–1 at Falcons Park's synthetic field to leapfrog them on the ladder and secure the title.[1]
It was Fortuna's 10th LVSL Senior Men's championship, a historic milestone as they became the first club in the competition's long history - dating back to 1951 - to reach double-figure LVSL championships.[2]
The championship would also make the final league title for Fortuna before they departed to join the Victorian State League system at the end of the 2024 LVSL season.[3]
