Future Wildcat Football Schedules
 

Games listed in red are not confirmed.  Dates printed in red do not yet have a confirmed date and, therefore, are not necessarily listed in the correct order. 





The most recent update to this information was made on October 28:

The Big Ten and NU released a revised schedule for 2023. The Big Ten opponents are unchanged from the previous version of the '23 schedule, but the dates have been moved around. Now, instead of Maryland being the final visiting team ever to Ryan Field, it will be Purdue. The three Big Ten East cross over opponents are the same: Rutgers, Maryland, and Penn State.

The nonconference schedule, however, had changed significantly. NU will no longer host New Mexico State; instead, it will host FCS Howard. And UTEP has been added as the third non-conf. team (an away game at Duke remains on the schedule).

WIth the schedule changes, it now looks like Maryland will be NU's homecoming opponent for 2023.
