The 2023 International League T20, also known as the DP World ILT20 2023 for sponsorship reasons, was the inaugural season of the International League T20 (ILT20), a professional Twenty20 cricket league in the United Arab Emirates, organised by the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB). In June 2022, it was confirmed that the season would be played in January and February 2023. The fixtures were announced on 29 November with the league set to run from January 13 to February 12.

Although matches were played using standard Twenty20 formats, players' statistics were not included in official records because Emirates Cricket Board is not a full-member of the International Cricket Council.

In the final, Gulf Giants defeated Desert Vipers by seven wickets to win the inaugural title.
