Preseason

After the two seasons, the management decided to part ways with head coach Fred Armstrong, after a troublesome seasons with many injuries of key position players. [1] A week later, Kings former offensive coordinator John Booker was introduced as the new head coach for the 2023 season.[2]

After three different starting quarterbacks in the previous season, the Kings seek stability on this position with the signing of Kenyatte Allen from the GFL team Allgäu Comets.[3] New and re-signings followed suit with defensive cornerstones Aslan Zetterberg, AJ Wentland, Lance Leota and AFI's defensive All-Star Roedion Henrique.[4]
