'''PMRank 2023''' is a list that ranks the top 50 ''[[Project+]]'' players of the 2023 season. It was released on February 7th, 2024.

==Methodology==
In order for events to be eligible for the rankings, they must consist of two or more players that have either been ranked on any PMRank between [[PMRank 2018|2018]] and [[PMRank 2022|2022]] or have beaten 2 or more PMRank players at other qualifying events. Of those entrants, 3 or more US regions/Canadian provinces must be represented.

Events must also have 20 or more entrants and an entry fee. Locals are not counted unless they are advertised as a bigger event (such as {{Trn|Tripoint Smash 200}}). Pre- and post-major locals are excluded from the rankings altogether. 

Unlike previous years, separate rankings were created for Australia and Europe. These rankings were a joint collaboration between the PMRank staff and community members of the respective regions. A Japan ranking was also planned but was later canceled.
