Last updated October 26, 2024

The 2023 Pittsburgh Pirates season was the franchise's 142nd season overall, 137th season as a member of the National League, and 23rd season at PNC Park. The season was notable for the Pirates as it featured the return of Andrew McCutchen, who re-signed with the team after spending his first nine seasons with Pittsburgh before being traded following the 2017 season.

Despite starting with a record of 20–8, they would regress later in the season, enduring multiple losing streaks and going 56–78 the rest of the way, resulting in them failing to make the playoffs after a 7-year absence, or win the National League Central for the first time. The team however did improve upon their 62–100 record from the previous season and earned their best record since 2018.

Offseason
