Just as the conference championship race is heating up across the Big Ten this season, the league has announced its full schedule for the 2023 season to come.

Naturally, most teams in the conference have known part of their schedule for the next year in some form, with dates against traditional division opponents, rivals, cross-over games, and rotational cross-over games.

Now the Big Ten has formally announced the weekly slate for the 2023 football season, with official times and TV info still to come in the future.

Next season marks the final iteration of the Big Ten schedule without future members USC and UCLA, which are set to join the conference in 2024.
