Southland Conference announces 2023 football conference schedule
FRISCO, Texas – The Southland Conference has announced the conference football schedule for the 2023 season.
“With our membership stabilized after last summer’s realignment and our postseason success, Southland football is in an exceptionally strong position,” SLC Commissioner Chris Grant said. “The battle for the title in 2022 came down to the final game, and we’re fired up for the 2023 season to be just as exciting with a true round-robin schedule.”
The Southland’s eight football-playing institutions will all play a single round-robin schedule against the other seven teams, marking the first time since 2013 the league will feature this playing format.
“Southland football fans are the most passionate in FCS, and I heard their disappointment loud and clear when some of our rivalry games were not able to be played in 2022. We’re glad those games are back on the schedule and everyone will get a chance to enjoy the entire Southland experience,” Grant added.
Four weekends will exclusively feature conference games, including the final three weeks of the season. The matchup of 2022’s co-SLC champions takes place on October 7, when UIW hosts Southeastern.
Full schedules including non-conference teams will be released by each of the eight schools upon their completion.
