The 2023 Virginia Cavaliers football team represented the University of Virginia as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) during the 2023 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Cavaliers were led by second-year head coach Tony Elliott and played home games at Scott Stadium in Charlottesville, Virginia. The Virginia Cavaliers football team drew an average home attendance of 43,293 in 2023.
Virginia and the ACC announced the 2023 football schedule on January 30, 2023. [1] [2] The 2023 season was the conference's first season since 2004, other than 2020, with a scheduling format not split into two divisions. The new format sets Virginia with three set conference opponents, while playing the remaining ten teams twice (home and away) in a four-year cycle. The Cavaliers' three set conference opponents for the next four years are Louisville, North Carolina, and Virginia Tech. [3] [4]
