The 2023 TSL season was the 131st season of the Tasmanian State League (TSL), the highest-level senior Australian rules football competition in Tasmania. The season began on 7 April and concluded on 21 September, comprising an 18-match home-and-away season over 21 rounds, followed by a three-week finals series. [1]

Kingborough won the TSL premiership for the first time, defeating North Launceston by 15 points in the 2023 TSL Grand Final. [2] [3]

Background

Glenorchy player shortage

During the pre-season, reports emerged that Glenorchy was suffering a shortage of players and was "unlikely" to field a senior team in 2023. [4] The club had failed to win a single game during the 2022 season, with just 12 players attending one training session held around January 2023. [5] [6]

Ultimately, the club was able to field senior and reserves sides in 2023, although it failed to win a senior game for the second season in a row. [7] [8]
