The 2023 NCAA Division I women's soccer season was the 42nd season of NCAA championship women's college soccer.
The season began on August 17, 2023, and concluded in November 2023. It will culminate with the 2023 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament, with the College Cup being held at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina.
UCLA were the defending NCAA Champions. The Bruins were unable to defend their title as they were defeated in the first round of 2023 tournament by UC Irvine 1–0. Florida State faced off against Stanford in the final. Florida State prevailed 5–1 and won their fourth overall title, all of which have come since 2014. Stanford's 36 game streak of allowing one or fewer goals was snapped and this was the first match where the Cardinal allowed five or more goals in a game since 1996. This was the first national championship match between two undefeated teams and Florida State became the first undefeated champion since Stanford in 2011.
