For the 2023 season, the number of teams in the NRL increased from sixteen to seventeen with the inclusion of a fourth Queensland-based club, the Dolphins, based at Redcliffe.[1] It is the first time the number of Premiership teams has changed since 2007 when the Gold Coast Titans joined the competition.

The start of the season was overshadowed by ongoing issues between the NRL and the Rugby League Players Association (RLPA). By February 2023, the RLPA and the NRL were at a stalemate following the expiration of the previous collective bargaining agreement in November 2022.[14]
The NRL had announced an increased salary cap on 23 December 2022,[15] surprising the RLPA who had yet to agree to terms with the NRL.[16]
By February 2023, the possibility of a player's strike or other industrial action had yet to be ruled out by the RLPA.[14]
In response to the stalled negotiations over the new agreement, in early July the RLPA took industrial action with players boycotting almost all broadcast and media engagements.[17][18][19][20] The RLPA later publishing a list of frequently asked questions in response to media reporting.[21]
In Round 22, the players took further action by covering the NRL logo on their jerseys.[22]
