The 2023 Malaysia Cup (Malay: Piala Malaysia 2023), officially known as the TM Piala Malaysia 2023 for sponsorship reasons, was the 97th edition of Malaysia Cup tournament organised by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) and the Malaysian Football League (MFL).

In the competition, the top 14 teams from the 2023 Malaysia Super League were joined by the top two teams from the 2023 Malaysia M3 League. For the same repeat last season, the group stage was not played. The competition was played from 3 August until 8 December 2023, with 16 teams in the knockout stage which began in the round of 16, followed by quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final. This stage was played in two legs, except for the final which was played as a single leg.[3]
For this edition, a total of 16 teams will compete in the tournament, which qualifying results will be determined after week 13 league matches.
