Wake Forest will host Elon at BB&T Field in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on either Thursday, Aug. 31 or Saturday, Sept. 2, 2023. The game will be the 13th overall meeting between the two schools.
Wake Forest and Elon are also scheduled to meet in Winston-Salem on Sept. 21, 2019. In their most recent meeting in 2015, the Demon Deacons defeated the Phoenix 41-3 to extend their lead in the overall series to 10-0-1.
