The 2023 Tour Championship (officially the 2023 Duelbits Tour Championship) was a professional snooker tournament that took place from 27 March to 2 April 2023 at the Bonus Arena in Hull, England. Organised by the World Snooker Tour, it was the fifth edition of the Tour Championship, first held in 2019, and the 14th and penultimate ranking event of the 2022–23 snooker season, preceding the 2023 World Snooker Championship. The last of three events in the Players Series, following the 2023 World Grand Prix and the 2023 Players Championship, it comprised the top eight players on the one-year ranking list as it stood following the 2023 WST Classic. Broadcast by ITV Sport domestically and sponsored by sports betting company Duelbits, the event featured a prize fund of £380,000, of which the winner received £150,000.
Neil Robertson won the 2022 event, defeating John Higgins 10–9 in the final. However, Robertson was unable to defend the title because he was outside the top eight on the one-year ranking list after the WST Classic. Shaun Murphy won the event, defeating Kyren Wilson 10–7 in the final to capture the 11th ranking title of his career.
There were 22 century breaks made during the event, the highest of which was a maximum break by Ryan Day, his third in professional competition, during his quarter-final match against Mark Selby. Day also made a rare 16-red clearance in the same match.
