The 2023 season is the Carolina Panthers' 29th in the National Football League (NFL), their third under the leadership of general manager Scott Fitterer and their first under new head coach Frank Reich. They attempts to improve upon their 7–10 record from the previous year and return to the playoffs for the first time since 2017.

The team acquired the number one overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft from the Chicago Bears in a trade involving wide receiver D. J. Moore,[1] which they used to draft Alabama quarterback Bryce Young.[2] Young is just the third quarterback drafted by the Panthers in the first round, following Kerry Collins in 1995, and Cam Newton in 2011 (also taken first overall).
