The 2023 Washington Huskies football team represented the University of Washington as a member of the Pac-12 Conference during the 2023 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Huskies were led by Kalen DeBoer in his second and final season as Washington's head coach, before leaving for Alabama at the end of the season. They played their home games at Husky Stadium in Seattle. 2023 was Washington's final season in the Pac-12 Conference before moving to the Big Ten Conference in 2024.
With their win over Washington State, the Huskies became the first team to go undefeated in Pac-12 play since the league expanded to 12 teams in 2011. It was Washington's 13th undefeated regular season and 8th perfect regular season, their first since 1991.
After beating the Oregon Ducks on December 1, 2023, in the Pac-12 Championship Game, Washington also set a program record for wins during a season, their thirteen wins beating the previous record of twelve originally set by their undefeated 1991 national championship team and tied by the 2016 team. Washington was ranked No. 2 in the final College Football Playoff rankings, and played against Texas in the 2024 Sugar Bowl. They won that game, 37âÂÂ31, becoming the second Pac-12 team to win a College Football Playoff game, and advanced to the 2024 CFP National Championship game against No. 1 Michigan, where they lost 34âÂÂ13.
The Huskies signed a total of 19 recruits.
