Draft:2023 National Premier Leagues NSW squads

The 2023 National Premier Leagues NSW is the eleventh season of soccer in New South Wales under the banner of the National Premier Leagues and the first season under the revised competition format. The season began on 3 February 2023 and concluded on 27 August.

For clubs competing in the National Premier Leagues NSW, a final squad of 20 professional players in a roster of 40 total players is allowed per team. Each team follows a Player Points System (PPS), a point cap that tallies the number of players a club can register depending on the player's status. In the NPL NSW Men's, each team is given 200 points to register a squad before the expiry of the registration window.[1][2]
