The 2023 Georgia State Panthers football team represented Georgia State University as a member of the Sun Belt Conference during the 2023 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Panthers were led by seventh-year head coach Shawn Elliott and played their home games at Center Parc Stadium in Atlanta. The Georgia State Panthers football team drew an average home attendance of 15,594 in 2023.
After a win against UConn on September 9, Georgia State became 2âÂÂ0 for the first time since the 2019 season. One week later, on October 16, the program improved to 3âÂÂ0 for the first time in its history after beating Charlotte on the road, 41âÂÂ25. The victory against Charlotte featured the longest play in GSU program history, a 97-yard TD pass from quarterback Darren Grainger to WR Robert Lewis. Following another victory the following week at Coastal Carolina, GSU earned its first 4âÂÂ0 start in program history, as well as its first vote in a national college football poll (coaches poll).
In the Sun Belt preseason coaches' poll, the Panthers were picked to finish in sixth place in the East division.
Offensive lineman Travis Glover was named to the preseason All-Sun Belt first team. Defensive lineman Javon Denis, linebackers Jontrey Hunter and Jordan Veneziale, and defensive back Bryquice Brown were named to the second team.
The football schedule was announced February 24, 2023.
