The 2023 Edmonton Elks season was the 65th season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 74th overall. After an 0–9 start to the season, the Elks were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention following their week 18 loss to the Toronto Argonauts.[1]
The team's 2023 season was the second under the second tenure of head coach and general manager, Chris Jones.[2]
The Elks struggled on the field and started the season 0–7 for the first time in franchise history. The only other Edmonton-based senior football team to start a season 0–7 was the 1938 Edmonton Eskimos who went winless in the then-eight-game Western Interprovincial Football Union season. The Elks also set the record for the longest home losing streak in North American professional sports, previously held by the 1953 St. Louis Browns, having lost 21 consecutive games at Commonwealth Stadium in a slump dating to the 2019 season.[3] They also matched a team record for consecutive losses both home and away, at 13, which ended with a week 11 win in Hamilton. After 1,415 days, the team won a home game on August 27 against the Ottawa Redblacks, ending the home-losing streak at 22 games.[4]
