The 2023 Campeonato Catarinense (officially the Catarinense Fort Atacadista 2023 for sponsorship reasons)[1] is the 98th season of Santa Catarina's top-flight football league organized by FCF. The season began on 14 January and ended on 8 April 2023.
The finals were played between Criciúma and the defending champions Brusque. Criciúma won 2–0 on aggregate and clinched their 11th title.[2]
The tournament was contested between 12 teams, who first played in a single round-robin tournament. In the first stage, the bottom two teams were relegated to the 2024 Série B. The final stage was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis.[3] Champions and runners-up qualified for the 2024 Copa do Brasil, while three teams qualified for the 2024 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D.[4]
