The 2023 season was Kawasaki Frontale's 19th consecutive season in the J1 League. It was a reasonably successful season. While Frontale didn’t progress past the group stages in the J.League Cup, and finished in the middle of the pack in 8th place in the J1 league, they won the 2023 Emperor’s cup competition, and won their group stage in the AFC Champions League, before being knocked out by Shandong Taishan on aggregate goals in the round of 16 - a respectable result although a letdown after coming in second in the 2022 tournament.
