The 2023 J3 League, referred to as the 2023 Meiji Yasuda J3 League (Japanese: 2023 明治安田生命J3リーグ, Hepburn: 2023 Meiji Yasuda Seimei J3 Rīgu) for sponsorship reasons, is the 10th season of the J3 League under its current name.

Changes from the previous season

Promoted from 2022 JFL Promoted to 2023 J2 League Relegated from 2022 J2 League
Nara Club
FC Osaka 		Iwaki FC
Fujieda MYFC 		FC Ryukyu
Iwate Grulla Morioka

Iwaki FC and Fujieda MYFC were promoted to the J2 League after being champions and runners-up of last season's J3.

FC Ryukyu and Iwate Grulla Morioka were relegated from the J2 League after relatively short stints at the 2nd division, with Ryukyu spending four seasons, and Iwate spending just a single season. The clubs finished as 21st and 22nd-placed team at the 2022 J2 League, respectively.

Nara Club and FC Osaka were promoted to the J3 League after being respectively, champions and runners-up of last season's JFL. Both teams are making their debut in the J3 League after obtaining a J.League License, to enable their promotion from the JFL.

This season is the first of the J3 League to have 20 teams, seeing an increase from last season's 18 teams. About the number of teams, there will be no future changes, as the J.League confirmed that from 2024, all the three professional leagues would have 20 teams in each.

Overview

Promotion and relegation

This season will be the first to feature promotion/relegation from the Japan Football League, enabling the possibility for teams to be relegated from the J3.[2] The system of promotion/relegation between the leagues can be determined by the eligibility (Promotion to J3 requires a J.League license) of the JFL's champions and runners-up for the season.

The dates and the host teams of the promotion/relegation play-off were pre-determined by the J.League. In case it happens, it will be played in two legs on 9 and 16 December, with the J3 team hosting the second leg.
