Teams on hiatus or folded

^
^A Defending 2022 national runner-up Crossfire Redmond was split into two teams for the 2023 season, Crossfire Red and Crossfire White. The determination on which team is "new" vs "renamed" is subjective. However Crossfire's 2022 head coach Bill Colello is coaching Red in 2023 and 2022 assistant coach Rory King is also on Red's roster. Therefore on this page Crossfire Red will be considered the renamed Crossfire Redmond while Crossfire White is listed as a new team.
^
^B No information exists about Global Soccer Pathways joining the NPSL for the 2023 season. Additionally the coaching staff listed on the league's website is identical to Naples United FC's staff for this season and the team page's url has Naples United in it. However, this is not a "rebrand" since Naples United FC is also competing in the Sunshine Conference alongside GSP. Until proven otherwise this team will be considered a "new team".

West Region Conference playoffs

Golden Gate Conference playoffs

Note: The Golden Gate Conference playoff matches were determined by random draw.^[27] The teams that finished in the top four of the regular season (El Farolito, Napa Valley 1839 FC, San Ramon FC, Oakland SC) were placed in Pot A, teams that finished in the bottom four (Sacramento Gold FC, Sonoma County Sol, FC Davis, Oakland Stompers) were placed in Pot B. Pot A teams were drawn against Pot B teams, with the former hosting the conference quarterfinals. The winners of Game 1 and 3 (shown below in order from top to bottom) will host the semifinal matches.

The conference semifinal winners will advance to the West Region Semifinal round, which will double as the conference championship final. The remaining teams will be seeded #1 & #2 based on regular season PPG.

^A Defending 2022 national runner-up Crossfire Redmond was split into two teams for the 2023 season, Crossfire Red and Crossfire White. The determination on which team is "new" vs "renamed" is subjective. However Crossfire's 2022 head coach Bill Colello is coaching Red in 2023 and 2022 assistant coach Rory King is also on Red's roster. Therefore on this page Crossfire Red will be considered the renamed Crossfire Redmond while Crossfire White is listed as a new team.

[cnote_B] 
^B No information exists about Global Soccer Pathways joining the NPSL for the 2023 season. Additionally the coaching staff listed on the league's website is identical to Naples United FC's staff for this season and the team page's url has Naples United in it. However, this is not a "rebrand" since Naples United FC is also competing in the Sunshine Conference alongside GSP. Until proven otherwise this team will be considered a "new team".
