The Southland Conference has announced their 2023 football schedule. Conference play begins on Sept. 23 with Southeastern Louisiana hosting HCU.
For the 2023 season, the Southland Conference will again consist of eight football-playing members — HCU, Lamar, McNeese, Nicholls, Northwestern State, Southeastern Louisiana, Texas A&M-Commerce, and UIW.
“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.”
Each Southland conference team will play a seven-game, round-robin schedule against the other members.
“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.
Kickoff times and television designations will be announced at a later date.
