TCU Releases Potential 2023 Football Schedule Early

Someone in the TCU athletics office got antsy, released 2023 football schedule 16 hours early.

The Big 12 football schedule was scheduled to release on Jan. 31 at 1:00 p.m. CT. However, the school accidentally published their 2023 football schedule ahead of time, before 8:00 p.m. CT the night before.

Just minutes later, the schedule was taken down.

The season kicks off in Fort Worth against the Colorado Buffaloes in their first game under new head coach Deion Sanders. According to the leak, it concludes the day after Thanksgiving in Norman against the Oklahoma Sooners.

See the full schedule below.

TCU Football Schedule Features Two New Big 12 Members

In their first season in the Big 12, TCU takes on both Houston and BYU, with the latter being a home game. Houston and BYU, along with Cincinnati and UCF, begin their Big 12 membership this summer. Their inaugural Big 12 schedule is highly anticipated.

The Frogs will have to wait likely for the 2024 season to play Cincinnati and UCF.

Other notable games on the slate include a Big 12 Championship rubber match with Kansas State in late October before heading on their bye week. TCU gets a short rest before hitting the road to play Texas Tech on a Thursday night.

The final three games for the Frogs are stiff: against Texas and Baylor and then a road date with what should be an improved Oklahoma team.

Be sure to double-check the schedule release tomorrow to verify these dates.
