The 15th Leyland Congress was a 3-section 6-round congress played over the Bank Holiday weekend from Saturday 26th August to Monday 28th August 2023, with two rounds each day, at The Business Centre, South Ribble Borough Council Civic Centre, Leyland. PR25 1DH. The Open was FIDE-rated. The top 9 boards of the Open were broadcast live. (See https://lichess.org/broadcast/15th-leyland-congress-2023/round-1/vpk42QGt.)

The event clashed with the Northumbria Masters which may have reduced the number of participants which totalled 65. Ranking cross-tables for each section were as follows.
