List of 2023–24 RFU Championship transfers

This is a list of player transfers involving RFU Championship teams before or during the 2023–24 season. The list is of deals that are confirmed and are either from or to a rugby union team in the Championship during the 2023–24 season. It is not unknown for confirmed deals to be cancelled at a later date.

No clubs were promoted to the Gallagher Premiership for the 2023–24 season.[1] On 1 May 2023, Cambridge were promoted to the RFU Championship, whilst Richmond were relegated to National League 1 for the 2023–24 season.[2]
