The 2023 season was St Patrick's Athletic F.C.'s 94th year in existence and was the Supersaint's 72nd consecutive season in the top-flight of Irish football. It was the second season in charge for manager Tim Clancy, having taken over from Stephen O'Donnell in December 2021. Pre-season training for the squad began in January 2023. The fixtures were released on 15 December 2022, with Pat's down to play the previous season's runners up Derry City at home on the opening night of the season.[1][2] On 2 May 2023, manager Tim Clancy was sacked, with his assistant Jon Daly taking over as interim manager initially, before being made permanent manager on 22 May 2023.

The club exited the Leinster Senior Cup at the first hurdle, losing to Wexford in January with a mostly under 19s team playing. The also existed the UEFA Europa Conference League at the first hurdle, losing at home and away to F91 Dudelange of Luxembourg, before going on to finish 3rd in the league and winning their 5th ever FAI Cup title by defeating Bohemians 3–1 in the final at the Aviva Stadium, in front of a record domestic crowd of 43,881 people.
