The 2023 season was Hull Kingston Rovers' seventh consecutive season playing in England's top division of rugby league. During the season, they competed in the 2023 Super League season and the 2023 Challenge Cup.

Prior to the sacking of Tony Smith as head coach on 4 July 2022 and resultant temporary appointment of Danny McGuire for the rest of the 2022 season, Hull Kingston Rovers announced in May 2022 the appointment of former South Sydney Rabbitohs halfback and Newcastle Knights assistant coach Willie Peters as the team's head coach for the 2023 season in a three-year deal.[2]

Challenge Cup

Hull Kingston Rovers in action against the Leigh Leopards at Wembley Stadium during the 2023 Challenge Cup Final

Hull Kingston Rovers were first drawn on 24 April to play the Batley Bulldogs at home in Round 6, confirmed following Batley's Round 5 34-16 victory against the Keighley Cougars the day prior.[34] Following a 50-0 victory against Batley,[35] Hull Kingston Rovers entered the quarter-finals and were drawn at home to the Salford Red Devils.[36]

After winning 28-10 against Salford,[37] Hull Kingston Rovers were drawn into the semi-finals against league leaders Wigan Warriors, to be played at the neutral Headingley Rugby Stadium.[38] A contentious match saw Hull Kingston Rovers win the match in extra time on golden point rules with a drop goal by Brad Schneider, sending the club to the Challenge Cup final for the first time since their 50-0 defeat to Leeds Rhinos in the 2015 final.[39]

Hull Kingston Rovers emerged as runners-up at Wembley Stadium against the Leigh Leopards, who won the match in extra time on golden point rules with a drop goal by Lachlan Lam.[40] The 2023 final was the first time a Challenge Cup final had been held without either Leeds Rhinos, Wigan Warriors, Warrington Wolves or St Helens participating since 1986.[41]
