Nebraska Football: When does the 2023 college football season start?

Now that we’re just a few weeks from Nebraska football’s spring game, it’s time wonder just when the 2023 college football season gets going.

Yes, it might seem odd to really start thinking about the start of the 2023 college football season in February, but the fact of the matter is that it’s not that far away. For Nebraska football fans, that’s evidenced by the fact that the odds for a few games have already been released. Those oddsmakers believe that the Huskers will start the year 1-1.

First up of course, is spring practice for the entirety of the college football world. Spring games are getting more popular all the time, especially for schools like Colorado who have some excitement over their program for the first time in years. The Nebraska football team is preparing for the Spring Game like always, though there’s some more excitement than usual, considering Matt Rhule and company are trying to turn the team around.

Once the Spring Game is over though, there’s a long wait. Though while people sometimes have to wait until September before they’ll get to see college football again, this year, it’s coming a bit faster than usual.

Nebraska Football: When does the 2023 college football season start?

The first college football games of the 2023 season will take place on Friday, August 25.

Hawaii vs Vanderbilt, San Jose State at USC, Navy at Notre Dame, and UMASS and New Mexico State will be the first battles of the new college football season. Interestingly enough, there are more games on that Friday rather than Saturday. There will only be two games on August 26.

The Nebraska football team will kick off its season on a Wednesday. The Huskers will face off against Minnesota on August 30.

Then the 2023 college football season will really get rolling the rest of that week with the entirety of the college football world joining the action by September 2.

All of this means that more than any other year, the answer to the question of “when does the 2023 college football season start?” is rather varied.
