The 2023 Prince Takamado JFA U-18 Football Premier League (Japanese: 高円宮杯 JFA U-18サッカープレミアリーグ 2023, Hepburn: Takamado no Miya-hai JFA U-18 Sakkā Puremia Rīgu 2023) was the 34th season of the main competition for under-18 teams in Japan, the 13th after rebranding the competition to the current "Premier League" format, and the 2nd season with 24 clubs participating in the league.[1]

The Premier League/Prince League play-offs gives an opportunity for teams to be promoted from the Prince Leagues (a conglomerate of regional leagues that forms the 2nd division of youth football in Japan). The two 10th-placed teams in their respective 2022 Premier League divisions participated in the play-offs, while the 11th and 12th-placed teams of each division were directly relegated. So, it not only determined the newcomers but also determined whether there will be other relegated teams from the Premier League or not.

On 2022, the number of teams that could make the jump to the top division were from four up to six.
