The previous edition of the league was not held as the Bangladesh Football Federation had initially decided to shut it down and merge it with the Dhaka Second Division Football League, in September 2022.[2][3] However, it was later decided that the Dhaka Third Division would continue, with a new format which will see it become an U-17 football league. A total of 15 football clubs participated in the league.[4][5] The season ran from 10 June 2023 to 23 August 2023.[6]

Alamgir Somaj Kallyan KS were the defending champions having won it in the 2019–20 season.[7]
