# 2023 Kansas City Royals season

The 2023 Kansas City Royals season was the 55th season for the franchise, and their 51st at Kauffman Stadium. It was also the team's first season under the management of Matt Quatraro. They were eliminated from playoff contention for the eighth consecutive season on August 29. Their 56–106 record tied the 2005 season for the lowest winning percentage (.346) in franchise history. They also finished sub-.458 for the 5th consecutive season. The Royals drew an average home attendance of 16,136 in 81 home games in the 2023 MLB season. The total attendance was 1,307,052.

## Offseason

The Royals finished the 2022 season 65–97, 27 games out of first place. They missed the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season.
On October 5, 2022, the Royals fired manager Mike Matheny shortly after the season ended. Matheny went 165–219 (.430) over three seasons with the team.
