ST. LOUIS – The 2023 calendar year marked a time of change in St. Louis professional sports.
St. Louis essentially doubled its professional sports portfolio (from two teams to four), and success didn’t always come where or when expected.
St. Louis CITY SC burst onto the scene as the newest MLS team, enjoying the most sustained success among STL’s squads and riding a historic start to the playoffs before a disappointing end to year one.
And the St. Louis Battlehawks packed record crowds as the XFL reincarnated, though they found themselves just short of playoffs due to a tiebreaker.
That’s the short version of how 2023 unfolded for St. Louis’ big four. Here’s a month-by-month breakdown of key moments and developments for the Cardinals, Blues, Battlehawks and CITY.
