(Tempe, AZ) Sparked by an energetic and young head coach and the infusion of an experienced and driven football staff, Arizona State football is trending in the right direction as it looks towards its eight-game home schedule in 2023 under Kenny Dillingham.
Already more than 90 percent of Sun Devil season ticket holders have renewed their seats while 3,000 new fans have already purchased season tickets. A special “Early Bird” discount applies to all season tickets purchased before Thursday, April 27, 2023, while mini-plans are in place for those that can’t commit to eight games.
The Sun Devils have an eight-game home schedule for just the sixth time since joining the Pac-10/12 and for just the third time this century (also in 2013 and 2007). ASU also had eight-game home schedules from 1982-84 and in 1989.
Also game day themes are set, as ASU will kick off the new campaign Thursday (Aug. 31), when they take on Southern Utah. The season opener will serve as ASU’s Faculty/Staff Appreciation game.
On Saturday (Sept. 9), the Sun Devils will host their annual Black Out game against Oklahoma State.
The following week (Sat., Sept. 16) ASU welcomes Fresno State to Sun Devil Stadium for City of Tempe Night. It is also the Green Game highlighting ASU’s standing as a national leader in sustainability.
A Maroon Monsoon hits Tempe for the Pac-12 opener against USC on Sat., Sept. 23, which has been designated as this year’s Hispanic Heritage Night. The contest against the Trojans will also serve as Family Weekend.
One weekend after the team is in Berkeley against Cal, the 2023 Sun Devils Athletics Hall of Fame class will be recognized during halftime of ASU’s Sat., Oct. 7 game featuring Colorado.
After a bye-week and a road trip to Seattle to take on Washington, the Sun Devils return for their Homecoming game Sat., Oct. 28 against Washington State. It will also be the Sun Devil Club/Junior Sun Devil Club game.
ASU’s match-up against Oregon on Sat., Nov. 18 will be the program’s annual Salute to Service Game. In what has become a campus-wide celebration of ASU’s commitment to and support of military and community service, the game will feature a variety of service-themed programming.
The Sun Devils will close the 2023 regular season with Senior Day against Arizona on Sat., Nov. 25 as they look to bring back the Territorial Cup® to Tempe.
