The World Chess Championship 2023 will be a chess match for the World Chess Championship. The match will be between a champion, who will be the winner of the World Chess Championship 2021 between Magnus Carlsen and Ian Nepomniachtchi; and a challenger, who will be the winner of the 2022 Candidates Tournament.
FIDE announced the 2022 Candidates Tournament in May 2021. No date for the championship match was given, but it led to speculation that the championship match would also be in 2022. In June 2021, while announcing the FIDE Grand Prix 2022, FIDE gave its preferred match date as "at the end of 2022 or beginning of 2023". On December 12th 2021 FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich announced that the Candidates was planned to be held in Summer 2022 with the World Championship to follow in early 2023.

Notes
- Radjabov had qualified for the previous Candidates Tournament, but withdrew after his request to postpone the tournament due to the COVID-19 pandemic was refused. With the postponement of the 2020 Candidates Tournament at the halfway point due to the pandemic until its resumption in 2021, Radjabov called for his reinstatement into the tournament. FIDE decided that it was appropriate to instead give Radjabov a direct entry into the 2022 Candidates.
