NORTH MANCHESTER, Ind. – Football is on the horizon Spartan fans! With the Black & Gold due to report back to campus in less than two months, the 2023 Manchester University football schedule has been announced.
This year's schedule features six home games and four road contests. The Spartans will open the 2023 season with three straight home games at Spartan Stadium - hosting North Park University (September 2), Alma College (September 9), and Greenville University (September 16). Manchester will then travel to Mount St. Joseph University to open Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) play on September 30.
After a bye during Week 4, the Spartans will return home to face the Rose-Hulman Fightin' Engineers on October 7 during Homecoming on the campus of Manchester University. The Black and Gold will then hit the road for two straight away games against HCAC foes Hanover College (October 14) and Bluffton University (October 21) before returning home to Spartan Stadium to host the Defiance College Yellow Jackets on October 28.
Manchester football will round out the 2023 regular season with two games in November. First, the Spartans will travel to Franklin College on November 4 to take on the Grizzlies. The Black and Gold will then host rival Anderson University on November 11 where the Spartans will look to take back the coveted Bronze Ball Trophy in its regular season finale against the Ravens.
