CAA Football has announced the game times for all conference matchups during the 2023 season, as well as home nonconference contests.

The schedule starts Saturday, Aug. 26 with a rare Week 0 game, as UAlbany entertains Fordham. 

Conference action in 2023 kicks off Thursday, Aug. 31 with a pair of 7 p.m. contests. League newcomer, Campbell, hosts 2022 CAA co-champion William & Mary, and Delaware visits Stony Brook. 

North Carolina A&T makes its CAA Football debut Saturday, Sept. 16 with a short trip to Elon for a 6 p.m. game. There is at least one conference matchup during all 12 weeks of the regular season.

CAA Football expands to 15 teams for the first time this season. 

The conference slate once again includes four home games and four road contests for each team. 

Under the league’s new scheduling format, each team is paired with two permanent partners that it faces every season. The other six conference opponents rotate through the schedule, ensuring that all teams meet each other at least once at home and once on the road over an eight-year period. 

Limiting air travel to reduce costs was a priority in the new scheduling model, with most teams not having more than one flight each season during conference play.

The nonconference schedule features 14 games against FBS opponents. Seven of those contests are against teams from Power 5 leagues, including three against ACC squads and three versus Big Ten foes. 

CAA Football teams have 19 victories over FBS opponents since 2009, including two last season. CAA Football has been dominant against nonconference FCS competition, posting a 21-5 record (.808) during the 2022 regular season, which was the best of any league.

CAA Football had five teams (Delaware, Elon, New Hampshire, Richmond and William & Mary) receive berths into the 2022 NCAA FCS playoffs. The five selections were the most for the conference since 2018 and marked the 11th time at least four CAA teams were chosen for the playoffs.

Times for the remaining non-conference games will be announced by each individual institution as they are determined.
