Miami football game times, TV, set for Miami of Ohio opener, BC season finale and more
It’s not even summer, but college football season is closing in.
Kickoff times and broadcast information for four 2023 University of Miami football games were announced Wednesday afternoon — and three of those games are not on Saturdays.
The Hurricanes will kick off their season on Friday, Sept. 1 at 7 p.m. at Hard Rock Stadium against Miami of Ohio (ACC Network).
Fast forward to November: The Canes will end their regular season at noon on Friday, Nov. 24 — the day after Thanksgiving — in a nationally televised game (ABC) at Boston College. Note that the the Miami Dolphins game at the New York Jets is at 3 p.m. on Amazon and a Miami station to be announced, so fans of both will have little overlap.
On Saturday, Sept. 9, the Texas A&M Aggies of the Southeastern Conference will come to Hard Rock for a 3:30 p.m. game on ABC.
And on Thursday, Sept. 14, UM will face Bethune-Cookman at 7:30 p.m. (ACC Network).
As previously reported, the Hurricanes have four open Saturdays — the first one the day after the home opener; the last one the day after the Boston College game. The other two open Saturdays are Sept. 16 (two days after Bethune-Cookman) and Sept. 30 (one week after the Temple road game on Sept. 23).
UM’s ACC opener is at home on Oct. 7 against Georgia Tech.

In June, the ACC released its new football schedule model for 2023-2026, which eliminates the Coastal and Atlantic divisions and turns the league into one body of 14 teams.
The top two teams, based on conference winning percentage, will compete in the ACC Football Championship Game on Dec. 2 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The new model has each league member play three primary opponents annually and face the other 10 league teams twice — once at home and once on the road — during the four-year cycle.
UM’s primary opponents: Florida State, Louisville and Boston College.
