The 2023 FOCAL season is the sixth and current season of FOCAL tournaments. It is the first standalone season since 2019, as the previous three were amalgamated due to the COVID-19 pandemic preventing many events in 2020 and 2021 from going ahead.
As per tradition, the season commenced at the end of January with the Lincoln event — the eighteenth annually, titled COLIN XVIII — and its ‘hangover’ counterpart the following day. For the second year running, the February event took place in Manchester, wherein the grand final was a rematch from the previous year. The fourth, held in March, saw the town of Rugby make its debut on the co-event scene.
Later tournaments either confirmed or in discussion for 2023 include Leeds, Brighton, Newcastle upon Tyne, Birmingham, London, Blackpool and Braintree. At the Leeds event in April, games were played using the Goatdown variant, the first FOCAL co-event to do so. The Birmingham tournament — taking place at the beginning of August — will be a double-header, with a Goatdown event on the Friday evening. 2023 is the first season in which three tournaments are being held in the Republic of Ireland within a single calendar: Dublin, Waterford, and — for the first time under the FOCAL name — Sligo (Co:Monasteraden).
