The 2023 Virginia Tech Hokies football team represented Virginia Tech as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference during the 2023 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Hokies were led by Brent Pry in his second year as Virginia Tech's head coach. They played their home games at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Virginia.
The team had a 6–6 regular season record, and defeated Virginia 55–17 in Charlottesville to earn a bid to the 2023 Military Bowl in Annapolis. Tech defeated Tulane 41–20 in that game to finish the season 7–6. The Virginia Tech Hokies football team drew an average home attendance of 64,733 in 2023, the 24th highest in college football. [1]
Virginia Tech and the ACC announced the 2023 football schedule on January 30, 2023. [2] [3] The 2023 season will be the conference's first season since 2004 without divisions. The new format matches Virginia Tech with three set conference opponents, while playing the remaining ten teams twice (home and away) in a four–year cycle. The Hokies' three set conference opponents for the next four seasons are Pittsburgh, Virginia, and Wake Forest. [4] [5]
