Looking ahead to the Michigan State football 2023 schedule

The 2022 football season is over for Michigan State so it’s time to look ahead to next year.

The Spartans’ 2023 schedule was finalized in late October after the Big Ten revealed the conference matchups. This news combined with the previously known three non-conference games means we have a complete slate for the 2023 season.

This next season will reportedly be the final year of the Big Ten East and West Divisions before USC and UCLA join the conference in 2024. So Michigan State will once again play Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Indiana, Rutgers and Maryland as well as three crossover games against West Division foes.
