The 2023 Calgary Stampeders season was the 65th season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 78th overall. It was Dave Dickenson's seventh season as head coach and first as general manager following his promotion.[1]

The Stampeders managed to qualify for the playoffs for an 18th straight season after the team defeated the BC Lions in week 20 and the Saskatchewan Roughriders lost in the same week. This was the first time Calgary had a losing regular season record since the 2007 season.

The team attempted to win the ninth Grey Cup championship in franchise history, but lost the West Semi-Final to the BC Lions.

Offseason

CFL Global Draft

The 2023 CFL Global Draft took place on May 2, 2023.[2][3] The Stampeders had the sixth selection in each round.[4]

CFL National Draft

The 2023 CFL Draft took place on May 2, 2023.[3] The Stampeders had eight selections in the eight-round draft after forfeiting their second round pick after selecting T. J. Rayam in the 2022 Supplemental Draft and trading their seventh-round pick to the Roughriders in exchange for James Smith.[5][6] However, the team swapped their first-round pick and acquired additional third-round picks and sixth-round picks after trading Bo Levi Mitchell to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.[7]

The Stampeders had the sixth selection in each of the eight rounds of the draft after losing the West Semi-Final and finishing third in the 2022 league standings, not including traded picks.[8]
