The 2023 season was the Pittsburgh Maulers' 2nd season in the United States Football League and their 1st under the head coach/general manager tandem of Ray Horton and Lonnie Young. With their second win of the season in Week 5 against the Michigan Panthers, they improved upon their 1–9 record from the previous season, which was a league worst.
By defeating the New Jersey Generals in Week 10, they clinched their first-ever playoff berth. They also clinched their first division title the following day when the Panthers defeated the Philadelphia Stars.
Pittsburgh later defeated the Panthers in the USFL North Division Championship Game, advancing to their first USFL Championship, where they were defeated by the Birmingham Stallions.
