2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off

The 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off was the inaugural edition of the Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off, a cricket tournament which formed part of the 2023 Cricket World Cup qualification process. It took place in March and April 2023, with all matches having One Day International (ODI) status, regardless of whether or not a team had ODI status prior to the start of the event. As a result, Jersey played their first ever matches with ODI status.

Six teams qualified for the tournament: the bottom four teams from the 2019–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 along with the top teams in Groups A and B of the 2019–2022 ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League. The top two teams from this tournament progressed to the 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier for a chance to participate in the 2023 Cricket World Cup. The other teams had no remaining means of qualifying.

In an event within the event, the bottom two League 2 teams (Papua New Guinea and the United Arab Emirates), and each of the Challenge League winners (Canada and Jersey), competed for two places in League 2 and therefore ODI status for the next cycle. As a result, Canada was promoted to League 2 and Papua New Guinea was relegated to The Challenge League

The International Cricket Council announced the schedule for the tournament on 20 March 2023.
