The 2023 Tour de Langkawi (known as the Petronas Le Tour de Langkawi for sponsorship reasons) was a road cycling stage race that took place from 23 to 30 September 2023 in Malaysia. The race is a category 2.Pro-rated event as part of the 2023 UCI ProSeries, and is the 27th edition of the Tour de Langkawi.
The 2023 race was initially taken off from the UCI calendar after the UCI received complains from teams of not receiving payments for appearance fees and flight tickets from last year's race. Malaysia National Cycling Federation vice president Datuk Amarjit Singh Gill said that the race will go on as scheduled and he will get a clearer picture of the situation during the world body's board meeting. In August 2023, the UCI agreed to reinstate the race in its calendar, with the National Sports Council making key changes on payments to participants from this year's race onwards.
Teams
Two of the 18 UCI WorldTeams, eight UCI ProTeams, eleven UCI Continental teams, and one national team make up the 22 teams that are participating in the race.
