The Hoyas will host Penn State for an exhibition match on August 11 before playing at American and home against Duke on August 14 and 18 to close out the preseason.

Georgetown's first regular season contest will be on the West Coast as GU travels to Santa Clara on Thursday, August 24 and then faces Stanford on Sunday, August 27.

A matchup against Pittsburgh marks the Blue & Gray's home opener on Friday, September 1 with a contest against Fordham closing out the long weekend at home on Labor Day. The Hoyas will then make the short trip to College Park, Maryland to face the Terrapins on Friday, September 8 in an evening showdown.

Three more nonconference games will be sprinkled in throughout the BIG EAST schedule as GU hosts James Madison on Tuesday, September 19 before traveling to Princeton on Tuesday, October 3. The final out–of-conference game is scheduled for Tuesday, October 24 against UNC-Wilmington at Shaw Field.

Eight teams will make the BIG EAST Tournament in 2023. The team with the highest overall conference points will secure the No. 1 seed. The team in the opposite division with the highest conference point total will secure the No. 2 seed. The remaining six seeds, regardless of division, will be determined by conference point total. The top four seeds will host first round games on November 4.
