The Barbadian driver, who finished FIA Formula 3 runner-up in 2022, made the announcement on Instagram on Wednesday.
He will also be one of the Formula 1 team’s reserve drivers.
It is not yet clear who he will drive for in 2023, but he took part in the Abu Dhabi post-season test with Carlin, alongside fellow Red Bull junior Enzo Fittipaldi.
Maloney wrote: “I am delighted to announce that I will be part of the Red Bull Racing Junior Team and F1 Reserve Driver in 2023.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity and the support, and I can’t wait to start the season.”
Maloney enjoyed a hugely successful F3 rookie season, taking three wins and four podiums to finish second for Trident, including three straight race wins to end the season.
He confirmed ahead of the Abu Dhabi weekend, where he made his F2 debut in place of Calan Williams, that he would not be staying with Trident next year.
He couldn’t finish in the points in the season finale, finishing 15th and 16th in the sprint and distance races, but said he was mainly hoping for a clean weekend.

Maloney’s success in F3 came after a fourth-place finish in the European Formula Regional Championship in 2021, where he drove for R-ace GP.
He was also the 2019 British F4 champion in his first year in single-seaters.
He is the second new Red Bull junior to be announced in recent months after Fittipaldi’s place in the academy was confirmed in November.
The Brazilian, whose older brother Pietro Fittipaldi is a reserve driver for Formula 1 team Haas, broke the news over the Brazilian Grand Prix weekend.
The duo will join Japanese driver Ayumu Iwasa, 2021 F3 champion Dennis Hauger and Jehan Daruvala to represent the F1 team in F2 as Liam Lawson moves to Super Formula.
It is also believed that Isack Hadjar and Jak Crawford, who drove for Hitech in post-season testing, will graduate next season.
