Led by manager Liu Junwei, a former Hebei caretaker manager, Langfang Glory City were drawn into the groups E and F division of the 2023 CMCL.[5] On 12 July, after 5 matches in played at centralised venues in Changzhi, the team finished first place, guiding Langfang into the final round.[6]
Langfang were drawn into group B of the final round alongside the likes of Binzhou Huilong, Guangxi Hengchen, and Guangzhou E-Power.[7] On 8 October, after a 1–0 win over Guangxi Hengchen on home soil, Langfang Glory City gained promotion to the 2024 China League Two with a gameweek to spare by securing first place in the group stage.[8] In the two-legged finals play-offs, Langfang faced up against Shenzhen Juniors, first place in group A. In the first leg, Langfang picked up a 1–1 home draw on 29 October 2023, through a late Shenzhen Juniors equaliser.[9] In the second leg away on 3 November, 1–1 was once again the scoreline after 90 minutes making it 2–2 on aggregate, meaning the game would go to a penalty shoot-out. Langfang won 4–2 on spot-kicks, and they would step up into 2024 China League Two as invincible champions in the 2023 season.[10]
