After a three-year absence, on 6 December 2022, the International Tennis Federation (ITF) announced that the Hopman Cup would return for the 2023 tennis season in Nice in July, the first occasion in which the event was moved out of Australia and away from the opening week of the season. The 2023 event featured six teams, as opposed to the eight featured in previous editions.[1]

Team Croatia's Donna Vekić and Borna Ćorić defeated Switzerland's Céline Naef and Leandro Riedi in the final to win the second Hopman Cup title for Croatia, its first since 1996.[2] Team Switzerland, the two-time defending champions, was contending to win a third consecutive Hopman Cup title.[3]
