The 1983 season produced 2,122 games between 26 clubs, running from April 4, 1983 to October 16, 1983. Those games ended in 110 different final scores, 27 of which occurred exactly once all season. The most common result was 4–3, posted 127 times — 6.0% of the season's games. The season also produced three tie games, which sit on the board's diagonal.
