Pegula began the year primarily playing on the ITF Circuit, before cracking inside the top 100 in February for the first time in her career. This allowed her to enter several larger WTA Tour events, including in Indian Wells and Miami. Her best result during the early clay court season came in Charleston, where she upset world No. 12, Anastasija Sevastova, en route to the third round.

At the San Diego Open, Pegula lost to Świątek in a US Open rematch in the semifinals, but won the doubles title with Gauff, their third title of the season together and Pegula's fifth doubles title overall.

### 2023: World No. 1 in doubles, United Cup & Canadian champion

Pegula began her season playing at the inaugural edition of the United Cup. After dropping her opening match in Group C to Petra Kvitová, she bounced back to defeat Laura Siegemund. She then beat Harriet Dart in the first knockout stage before scoring the biggest win of her career with a straight sets victory over Iga Świątek, her first win over a current world No. 1 and first against the Pole since the 2019 Washington Open. In the finals, she beat 2022 French Open semifinalist Martina Trevisan to help the United States win the first ever United Cup title.
Coming off the heels of her win over Świątek and consistency throughout the 2022 season, Pegula was considered one of the favorites for the Australian Open title. She breezed through her first three matches with straight set wins over Jaqueline Cristian, Aliaksandra Sasnovich, and Marta Kostyuk. In the fourth round, Pegula faced off against 2021 French Open champion Barbora Krejčíková for the first time, defeating the 20th seed in straight sets to advance to her third consecutive Australian Open quarterfinal. However, she was unable to advance past that stage once more, being defeated by former champion Victoria Azarenka in straight sets.

She repeated the feat at Miami where again she came back from a set down and won against 26th seed Potapova, saving two match points, to reach this time the semifinals, after several match postponements due to a four hours rain delay. She became the first American woman to reach back to back semifinals in Miami since Serena Williams in 2014 and 2015. In doubles at the same tournament, she won her fifth overall and third WTA 1000 team title with her partner, Coco Gauff. They became the first all-American duo to win the Miami Open doubles title in 22 years, defeating Leylah Fernandez and Taylor Townsend in the final. At the WTA 1000 Madrid Open, Pegula and Gauff reached again the final where they lost to Azarenka and Beatriz Haddad Maia. The match was followed by controversy as none of the participating players were allowed to make a speech on the podium during the awards ceremony. The organizers subsequently apologized for the mistake. At the next WTA 1000 in Rome, the pair played their third consecutive final. As a result, Pegula reached a new career-high of No. 2 in doubles. Afflicted by a bout of food poisoning just days before the French Open, Pegula was upset by the 28th seed Elise Mertens in the third round in Paris, but reached the semifinals in doubles with Gauff, before falling to the tenth seeds, Leylah Fernandez and Taylor Townsend.
At Wimbledon, she reached the quarterfinals and became just the fifth American to do so at all four majors in the last 25 years, after notching a straight-sets fourth-round win over Ukrainian Lesia Tsurenko. In the quarterfinals, Pegula lost to the eventual champion, Markéta Vondroušová, despite leading 4–1 in the third set.
Seeded fourth in Montreal, she reached her third consecutive Canadian Open semifinal by beating Yulia Putintseva, Jasmine Paolini and seventh seed Coco Gauff.

At the WTA Finals, where she qualified for a second year in a row, she recorded her first win ever at this tournament, and her 40th singles hardcourt win over Elena Rybakina in straight sets, the most of anyone in the season. It was a fourth straight win over a top 10 player extending her personal best. In her second match, she defeated the world No. 1 player Aryna Sabalenka also in straight sets, her third win against a No. 1 player in the season and in her career. It was her 43rd season win with 5+ break point conversions, the most of anyone, and her fifth straight top 10 win, the first American on record since Sloane Stephens in 2018. She also became the first American to claim three wins in a season against the WTA's No. 1 since Serena Williams in 2012. Since 2000, Pegula was fourth to achieve the feat after Williams, Lindsay Davenport, and Jennifer Capriati. As a result, she qualified for the semifinals. Next, she defeated Maria Sakkari, her sixth straight top-10 win, in straight sets in her third match in a row with this result, improving to 50–0 in 2023 after winning the opening set, becoming the third player to finish a season with 50+-0, excluding retirements, after Lindsay Davenport and Viktoria Azarenka. In the semifinals, she defeated Coco Gauff in one hour in straight sets, her seventh straight top-10 win, and reached the biggest final of her career. She became the first player in the Open Era to play the No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 player in the same tournament. In the final, she lost to world No. 2, Iga Świątek, in 59 minutes.
