Due to changes made during the 2020 COVID season, all future schedules that were previously announced needed to be redone, including 2023. Other than games that featured a flip in the location of the game - none of which included Illinois - all other home/away conference opponents remained intact from what was previously announced. Additional games will be selected and moved to Fridays or other special dates in the near future.

The 2023 football season will be the initial season with the Big Ten's recently-announced media rights partners, CBS, FOX, NBC, Peacock and BTN. Plans regarding the format of future Big Ten football schedules for 2024 and beyond will be announced at a later date.

All dates are subject to change.
