Schedule

NC State announced its 2023 football schedule on January 30, 2023. The 2023 season is the first that the Atlantic Coast Conference eliminated divisions, and thus the Wolfpack will face conference opponents on a rotational pod basis.[2][3] The 2023 schedule consists of seven home games and five away games in the regular season. The Wolfpack will host ACC foes Clemson, Louisville, Miami and North Carolina and will travel to Duke, Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Wake Forest.[4]

The Wolfpack will host three of the four non-conference opponents, Marshall from the Sun Belt Conference, Notre Dame from FBS Independents, and VMI from Division I FCS, and will travel to UConn from FBS Independents.
