The 2023 season was Santos FC's 111th season in existence and the club's sixty-fourth consecutive season in the top flight of Brazilian football. As well as the Campeonato Brasileiro, the club competed in the Copa do Brasil, Copa Sudamericana and the Campeonato Paulista.[1]
At the end of the season, the club were relegated to the Brazilian Série B for the first time in their history.[2] Their relegation led riots to occur in Santos.[3]
