The 2023 Co-op Canadian Open was held from January 10 to 15 at the Encana Arena in Camrose, Alberta. It was the fourth Grand Slam event and third major of the 2022–23 curling season.
In the women's final, Satsuki Fujisawa and her team from Japan became the first Asian team to win a Grand Slam title (excluding defunct Slams; China's Wang Bingyu had won the 2010 Curlers Corner Autumn Gold Curling Classic, which was considered a Slam at the time.), defeating the Canadian champion Kerri Einarson rink. On the men's side, the home province Brendan Bottcher rink defeated Sweden's Niklas Edin team in the final.
Qualification Sixteen teams competed in the Canadian Open. They included the seven top-ranked teams on the World Curling Federation's Order of Merit rankings as of December 5, 2022, the seven top teams on the Year-to-Date rankings as of December 5, the Tier 2 winner of the 2022 Tour Challenge, and a sponsor's exemption.
