The 2023 Cleveland Guardians season was the 123rd season for the franchise, which competed in the American League of Major League Baseball (MLB). This was the franchise's second season using the "Guardians" nickname, and 11th and final season under manager Terry Francona, the longest-tenured manager in MLB entering the 2023 season.[1] They entered the season as the defending American League Central champions. The team opened the regular season on March 30, losing on the road against the Seattle Mariners, and concluded the regular season on October 1, losing on the road against the Detroit Tigers. They failed to improve on their 92–70 record from the 2022 season.
