The Texas Southern Tigers have announced their 2023 football schedule, which features games at Toledo and Rice.

Texas Southern opens their 2023 schedule on Saturday, Sept. 2 with a Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) game at home against Prairie View A&M. The contest will be played at Shell Energy Stadium in Houston, Texas.

The Tigers then hit the road for back-to-back non-conference games at Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) opponents. TSU will play at Toledo on Sept. 9 and then at Rice on Sept. 16.

Texas Southern then travels for a third consecutive road contest, this time at SWAC foe Grambling State on Sept. 23. The Tigers then return to Houston to take on Lincoln (CA) in their Homecoming contest at Durley Stadium on Sept. 30. The Lincoln contest was previously unannounced.
