Mountain West Football’s 2023 Schedule Released
The Mountain West brought a little light into the long off-season by unveiling its full schedule for the 2023 college football season.

Mark your calendars.
There are still 177 days until college football season gets underway, but that didn’t stop the Mountain West Conference from releasing its full 2023 conference schedule today.
This will be the first schedule since 2012 not to feature divisions, as was announced by former commissioner Craig Thompson last May. It will instead be the first part of a new schedule rotation unveiled by the conference last July which features two protected games for each team.
Much like last season, the conference will feature prominently in Week 0 with three games on the season-opening docket for August 26: Hawaii will travel to Nashville to face Vanderbilt, San Jose State will head south to battle USC, and Ohio will visit Snapdragon Stadium to clash with San Diego State.
Mountain West play will begin the week of September 16 when Air Force hosts Utah State. That will be followed by two more conference games the following week, four during the week of September 30, and three on October 7, all of which lead up to the first full week of conference play on October 14.
The Mountain West football championship game is scheduled for Saturday, December 2.
