The Global Chess League 2023, known for sponsorship reasons as the Tech Mahindra Global Chess League 2023, was the inaugural season of the annual over-the-board rapid chess league organized by FIDE. It took place in Dubai from June 21 to July 2, 2023. It was a joint venture organized by Tech Mahindra and FIDE.
It featured six teams of six players each, and involved ten round-robin matches, followed by a final match between the top two teams. The event came down to a round of individual tie-breaks drawn by playing card. Triveni Continental Kings won the event after Jonas Buhl Bjerre beat Javokhir Sindarov in the fourth tie-break game, the first three being drawn.
