As indicated by the game's name, it takes place two years after the last canonical The King of Fighters game, The King of Fighters 2001. According to the game's storyline, a new King of Fighters tournament is organized by an unknown host. The several new rules are instituted, including a whole new team system, based in Tag-Battle Team, which allows the player to change his choosen character at the time of the fight. Only in console mode, there is a fighting option without this mode (The Team Play).

At the end of the tournament, depending on how players defeat the mid-game boss, Kusanagi, the players will either face Adelheid Bernstein or learn that the tournament organizer is Chizuru Kagura and that a group known as "His Distant Land" is working in a secretive plot. After defeating the mysterious stone fighter known as Mukai, Ash Crimson appears before Chizuru, attacks her in her weakened state and steals her powers. Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami come to Chizuru's aid as Ash tells Iori that he's his next target.

The King of Fighters 2003 returns again with its 3 vs. 3 team battles. For the first time ever in the series, the matches are taken place in a single 3-on-3 round, unlike the 3-5 round matches, as seen in previous installments. This due to the new Tag Shift mechanic, where fighters can switch out with other members during a match, similar to the Marvel vs. Capcom series. By pressing either BC or CD, players can switch place with any standby team members, with BC switching out with the second member and CD switching out with the third member. Because of this, CD Attacks do not appear in this game.

Another mechanic introduced in this game is the Leader System, where one member of the player's team becomes a "Leader". The leader will always be the first character which the player chooses when picking his team, and during the match.

The leader will be highlighted by a blue life bar, unlike the members, whose life bars are orange. The leader gains access to a 2 stock supers, known as Leader Desperation Move.
