2023 FCS Versus FBS Matchups

The 2023 season is approaching and that means plenty of FCS versus FBS matchups are on tap with 118 this season. There will not be a record number of games featuring FCS teams against FBS opponents as we saw in both 2021 and 2022. This season will also mark the sixth time in the last eight seasons that the FCS and FBS will have at least 110 games in a season. Since 2012, only two seasons – 98 in 2017 and 36 in the pandemic-ravaged 2020 season – featured fewer than 100 FCS-FBS matchups.

Below is a table giving an overview of each week and the number of games scheduled for that week. Clicking on the week in the left-most column of the table will bring you down to that specific week’s set of games. This post will be updated as the 2023 season unfolds and reflect any additional changes. Please note that all kickoff times below are listed in Eastern Time.
