The 2023 CONCACAF Caribbean Shield was the sixth edition of the CONCACAF Caribbean Shield, the second-tier annual international club football competition in the Caribbean region, held amongst clubs whose football associations are affiliated with the Caribbean Football Union (CFU), a sub-confederation of CONCACAF.

The winners and runners-up of the 2023 CONCACAF Caribbean Shield, as long as they fulfill the CONCACAF Regional Club Licensing criteria, will qualify to the 2023 CONCACAF Caribbean Cup.[1]

Bayamón, having won the title in 2022, were the title holders, but did not qualify since they lost in the 2022 Liga Puerto Rico Apertura semifinals against Puerto Rico Sol.[2]

Group stage

In the group stage, each group is played on a round-robin basis with teams playing against each other once, for a total of three matches per team.

After single round-robin play, the group winners (four teams in total) will advance to the Semifinals.

The Semifinal winners (two clubs) will dispute the tournament’s final and secure a berth in the 2023 CONCACAF Caribbean Cup, which will serve as an opportunity to qualify for the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup.

All match times are in AST (UTC−4) and local times are in parentheses, as listed by CONCACAF.
