2023 USF Pro 2000 Championship
The 2023 USF Pro 2000 Championship is the 25th season in series history and the first under the USF Pro 2000 moniker. When the top rung of the Road to Indy ladder system, Indy Lights, was bought by Penske Entertainment (owners of INDYCAR) in 2021 and the lower level series changed sanctioning to the United States Auto Club, changes were made to the other championships in the ladder that resulted in the championship being rebranded for 2023. This, together with the Indy Lights being rebranded to Indy NXT, effectively ended the "Road to Indy" branding, with the three championships below Indy NXT now collectively called "USF Pro Championships Presented by Cooper Tires". The three Andersen Promotions series continue to have tire contracts with the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, while the NTT IndyCar Series and Indy Lights have tire contracts with Bridgestone Corporation.
