The winner of the Candidates Tournament will play the reigning world champion in the next Women's World Chess Championship.[1]

This is the sixth cycle of the tournament series. Each of 16 players had to participate in three out of four tournaments, and every tournament was a twelve-player round robin event. The tournaments are held between September 2022 and May 2023.[2]
