The 2023 season was the Philadelphia Eagles' 91st season in the National Football League (NFL), their 30th under the ownership of Jeffrey Lurie and their third under head coach Nick Sirianni. The Eagles entered the season as defending NFC champions.

The Eagles failed to equal or improve on their 14–3 record from the previous year due to their loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15. Despite this, the Eagles clinched their third consecutive playoff berth and sixth in seven years the same week, after the Green Bay Packers lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Atlanta Falcons losing to the Carolina Panthers, and the San Francisco 49ers defeating the Arizona Cardinals.

Despite starting with a 10–1 record for the second consecutive season, the Eagles lost five of their last six games. In Week 17, after a devastating home loss to the Arizona Cardinals, the Eagles lost control of their own destiny for the NFC East division title. In Week 18, after the Cowboys' victory against the Commanders and their own loss to the Giants, the Eagles were locked into the #5 seed. Even in victory, the Eagles had problems with a poor defense the entire season, which was ranked 26th out of 32; 8 of their 11 victories fell within one score, while they conversely suffered blowout losses to the playoff-bound 49ers and Cowboys, as well as the Giants by 3 scores. In fact, the Eagles defense allowed the third-most points of any team in the league, with over 428.

The Eagles' late-season woes continued into the playoffs, in which they were eliminated in the Wild Card round by the NFC South champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a 32–9 loss. This late-season collapse is considered by many to be one of the most shocking in NFL history. The Eagles promptly fired offensive coordinator Brian Johnson and defensive coordinators Sean Desai and Matt Patricia within a week of their playoff exit. In the subsequent offseason, on March 4, 2024, center Jason Kelce retired after spending his entire 13-year career with the Eagles. On March 10, defensive tackle Fletcher Cox would also retire after spending 12 seasons with the team. Despite the disappointing season, highlights included a 21–17 primetime win over the defending and eventual repeat Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium in Week 11. This was the Eagles' first win against the Chiefs since 2009, and their first-ever win against former longtime head coach Andy Reid.

This season would mark the first season since 2010 that the Eagles wore Kelly green uniforms and the first time since 1995 that they would be featured multiple times in a season.

The Philadelphia Eagles drew an average home attendance of 69,878 in 8 home games in the 2023 NFL season.
