The world of sports in 2023

The year saw landmark player signings, record contracts, and major college football conference realignments affecting multiple leagues and international competitions.

  • This year produced major champions across leagues: Denver Nuggets won their first NBA title after 47 seasons, Kansas City Chiefs took Super Bowl 57, and Las Vegas Golden Knights captured the Stanley Cup.
  • Ahead of the season, Pac-12 experienced sweeping departures as Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah planned moves to the Big 12, while Washington and Oregon headed to the Big Ten, and the ACC prepared to add Stanford University, Cal, and SMU.
  • High-Profile contracts saw Lionel Messi, captain of Argentina and former FC Barcelona star, sign a two-and-a-half-year deal with Inter Miami, marking an MLS milestone.
  • MLB implemented Opening Day rule changes mandating 18-inch bases, a pitch clock, and infield shifts, speeding games as the Texas Rangers won their first World Series.
  • Broader shifts—from NIL and the transfer portal to high-value player contracts and major leagues implementing rule changes—are positioned to reshape schedules, rivalries and recruiting across college football.
