The Indiana State Sycamores have announced their 2023 football schedule, which features games at Indiana and Ball State.

“We’re looking forward to another strong schedule and cannot wait to get back on the field,” Indiana State head coach Curt Mallory said. “We’re already hitting the weights hard this spring and getting ready for a challenging offseason to get ready for the upcoming year.”

Indiana State opens the 2023 season with three consecutive non-conference games, beginning at home at Memorial Stadium in Terre Haute, Ind., against the Eastern Illinois Panthers on Thursday, Aug. 31.

The Sycamores then travel for back-to-back in-state road contests against the Indiana Hoosiers on Saturday, Sept. 9 and the Ball State Cardinals on Saturday, Sept. 16.

After an open date, Indiana State opens Missouri Valley Football Conference (MVFC) action on the road against Murray State on Sept. 30. The Sycamores will also travel to face Illinois State on Oct. 14, North Dakota on Oct. 28, and Southern Illinois on Nov. 18.
