The2023 season wasD.C. United's 28th in existence and its 28th consecutive season in the top division ofAmerican soccer,Major League Soccer. In addition to MLS, D.C. United participated in the2023 U.S. Open Cup and2023 Leagues Cup, the latter their first international club tournament since 2016. The season was the first full season withWayne Rooney as head coach. The season covered the period from November 1, 2022, to October 31, 2023.
This was the first season since 2008 where long-time United goalkeeper,Bill Hamid, is not on the roster.
The 2022 season was a tumultuous season for United. The club finished at the bottom of the MLS table and saw the firing of then-head coachHernán Losada early in the season, followed by their interim manager,Chad Ashton being removed from interim duties halfway through the season, prior to Wayne Rooney's arrival. The club set a record in the number of goals conceded (75) and the largest losses in club history, both toPhiladelphia Union, a six-goal home loss, and a seven-goal away loss. Midseason acquisition,Taxiarchis Fountas lead United in goals during the season, scoring 12 goals in 21 appearances, being United's lone player selected for the2022 MLS All-Star Game. Outside of MLS, United were eliminated in the fourth round proper of theU.S. Open Cup by theirlongtime rivals, theNew York Red Bulls.
The offseason saw Lucy Rushton fired as general manager. Head coach Wayne Rooney and sporting director Dave Kasper retained their roles.
