The 2023 Florida Gators football team represented the University of Florida in the Eastern Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 2023 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Led by second-year head coach Billy Napier, the Gators played home games at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, Florida. The Florida Gators football team drew an average home attendance of 89,587 in 2023, the 10th highest of all college football teams.
The season-opening matchup against Utah was notable for it being the Gators' first non-conference true road game outside the state of Florida since a 38âÂÂ21 loss to Syracuse in the 1991 season. With the loss, the Gators' most recent non-conference road win outside the state of Florida remains a 38âÂÂ13 win at Memphis State on September 23, 1989. They also had not played a road game west of the Rocky Mountains since a 1983 game at USC.
