The 2023 Spanish Motocross Championship season was the 65th Spanish Motocross Championship season.[1]
The series had seven rounds across the country, running from February to May. José Butrón was the reigning champion in the Elite-MX1, after winning his eighth title in 2022.[2] David Braceras was the reigning champion in Elite-MX2 after he won his first title in the previous season.[3] Butrón was able to successfully defend his title in Elite-MX1, ahead of longterm rival Carlos Campano, whilst Gerard Congost took his first Elite-MX2 title.[4]
For 2023 points were awarded to the top-five qualifiers for the first time. These points did not count towards the overall total for a rider per round, but counted towards the points total in the championship standings.[5]
The series held its second round at a new circuit in Lugo, Galicia named after two-time world champion Jorge Prado.[6]
