Earlier in August, Valve unveiled the DPC 2023 schedule. Taking into account feedback from professional players as well as viewers, Valve has made some small changes to the schedule. Most notable is the shorter league durations which leaves open the possibility of the return of third-party events.

There will be three Dota 2 Majors in the DPC 2023 season each at the end of the respective DPC tour. The first Major takes place in February, the second in April and the final Major will take place in June-July next year. Of course the biggest Dota 2 event - The International - will mark the end of the DPC season. Valve is yet to announce more details of TI12.
