There were four other cities in contention to host the WTA Finals prior to Cancún's selection as the host city. These cities were Riyadh, Ostrava, Cluj-Napoca, and Washington, D.C. A temporary venue was built on the grounds of the Paradisus Cancún hotel at an estimated cost of $6 million. The stadium seats 4,300 people, the lowest capacity ever for the WTA Finals. Multiple players and coaches complained about the stadium's conditions, saying the surface was inconsistent.^[3]

In the singles, point totals are calculated by combining point totals from sixteen tournaments (excluding ITF and WTA 125 tournaments).^[4] Of these sixteen tournaments, a player's results from the four Grand Slam events, the four WTA 1000 tournaments with 1,000 points for the winner, and (for the players who played the main draw of least two such tournaments) the best results from two WTA 1000 tournaments with 900 points for the winner must be included.

In the doubles, point totals are calculated by any combination of eleven tournaments throughout the year. Unlike in the singles, this combination does not need to include results from the Grand Slams or WTA 1000 tournaments.

Both the singles and doubles event features eight players/teams in a round-robin event, split into two groups of four.

Over the first six days of competition, each player/team meets the other three players/teams in her group, with the top two in each group advancing to the semifinals. The first-placed player/team in one group meets the second-placed player/team in the other group, and vice versa. The winners of each semifinal meet in the championship match.

The final standings are made using these methods:

1. Greatest number of match wins
2. Greatest number of matches played
3. Head-to-head results if only two players are tied, or if three players are tied then:

a. If three players each have the same number of wins, a player having played less than all three matches is automatically eliminated and the player advancing to the single-elimination competition is the winner of the match-up of the two remaining tied players.

b. Highest percentage of sets won

c. Highest percentage of games won

The total prize money for the 2023 WTA Finals is US$9 million. The tables below are based on the updated draw sheet information.^[1]
