WASHINGTON – Georgetown University football Head Coach Rob Sgarlata released the team's 2023 11-game schedule on Monday, presented by MedStar Health. The Hoyas will welcome six opponents to Cooper Field in the fall, including Marist in its home opener on September 2. 

"Our 2023 schedule presents our players, coaches and staff with a great opportunity," said Sgarlata. "We begin the season with three home games on the brand new turf of Cooper Field against longtime opponent Marist and two newer opponents in Sacred Heart and Stonehill. Our out-of-conference schedule concludes with the eighth installment of the Lou Little Trophy game in New York against Columbia and a return to Franklin Field to play Penn. These games will prepare us to compete against a very balanced Patriot League schedule where we will welcome Fordham, Colgate and Lafayette to the Hilltop and travel to play Lehigh, Bucknell and Holy Cross. Currently, we are striving to improve 1% each day as we build towards the 2023 campaign."  

The Blue & Gray will open the season with a three-game homestand starting on September 2 against Marist. It will be the 24th all-time meeting between the two programs, with GU holding an 18-5 advantage in the series. The following week, Georgetown will face Sacred Heart in the program's second meeting, the first since 2010. In week three, Stonehill will travel to the Hilltop to take on the Hoyas for the first time.
