After a spectacular 2022 season, the TCU Horned Frogs football team is looking forward to next season with the release of the 2023 schedule.
The Frogs are returning 11 starters, including seven on defense, from their 2022 team that went 13-2 and reached the national championship game before finishing the year No. 2 in the final AP poll.
Seven of the Frogs' 2023 home games and nine of their 12 contests will take place in Texas. Four of their first five games will be at home, beginning with the Sept. 2 opener against Colorado.
The 2023 season features new Big 12 opponents Houston and BYU. The game against the Cougars on Sept. 16 eliminates an open date early in the schedule. TCU's open date will now be on Oct. 28.
