University of Miami hosts Miami University in 2023
Hard Rock Stadium will be filled with Miami fans — and probably only Miami fans — when the University of Miami and Miami University football programs meet for the fourth time in 2023.
The Hurricanes have scheduled a somewhat confusing nonconference game with the Miami (Ohio) RedHawks for what appears to be the season opener of the 2023 season. The Hurricanes are set to host the RedHawks on Sept. 2, 2023, a source confirmed Monday.
The RedHawks “will receive a $1.5 million guarantee for the game, per a copy of the contract obtained from Miami University,” according to FBSchedules.com, which first reported the news.
The contract between the two schools is an agreement for the lone game at Hard Rock.
This is the third nonconference game the Hurricanes have scheduled for 2023. They will also host the Texas A&M on Sept. 9 and play a road game against Temple on Sept. 23. The Hurricanes have room for one more game on their schedule, which could be against an FCS opponent.
The Hurricanes’ Atlantic Coast Conference games in 2023 will be at home against Georgia Tech, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Boston College.
Their road games will be against Duke, North Carolina, Pittsburgh and Florida State. The conference has not yet announced dates for the games.
