The field has been set for the 2023 Georgia High School Association basketball championships, with 16 boys teams and 16 girls teams vying for titles over four furious days of competition at the Macon Coliseum.

There are five defending girls champions in the field: Norcross (7A), Lovejoy (6A), Lumpkin County (3A), Mt. Paran (2A) and Lake Oconee Academy (A-Division I). Westside-Augusta is the only defending boys champion remaining.
