The 2023 Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup was the thirteenth season of the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup since its inception in 2011 as the Blancpain Endurance Series. The season began on 22 April at Autodromo Nazionale Monza and ended on 1 October at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
Calendar The provisional calendar was released on 29 July 2022 at the SRO's annual 24 Hours of Spa press conference, featuring five rounds. In a change from the 2022 schedule, the opening round at Imola was moved back to Monza. The calendar was further adjusted to alleviate a conflict between the Belgian Grand Prix and the 24 Hours of Spa. The 24-hour event was moved forward to the weekend of 1–2 July, while the Monza round was moved forward one week, and Nürburgring returned to the calendar.
