Vanderbilt is scheduled to open the 2023 season in Week Zero on Saturday, Aug. 26 at home in Nashville against the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors. The Commodores’ non-conference schedule also includes back-to-back road contests against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons on Sept. 9 and the UNLV Rebels on Sept. 16.
In SEC action in 2023, Vanderbilt is set to host Auburn, Georgia, Kentucky, and Missouri and travel to Florida, Ole Miss, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
