Main article: 2023 National Bank Open

Simona Halep was the reigning champion, but could not defend her title due to a provisional suspension for violations of anti-doping rules.

Iga Świątek and Aryna Sabalenka are in contention for the WTA No. 1 ranking. Sabalenka can only attain the top ranking if she wins the title and Świątek fails to reach the quarterfinals.

This tournament marks the return to professional competition of former No. 1 player Caroline Wozniacki, who previously announced her retirement in 2020.
