LSU will host four SEC conference opponents Arkansas (rivalry), Auburn (rivalry), Florida (rivalry) and Texas A&M (rivalry) at home and will travel to four SEC opponents, Alabama (rivalry), Mississippi State (rivalry), Missouri and Ole Miss to close out the SEC regular season on the road. LSU is not scheduled to play SEC East opponents Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee and Vanderbilt in the 2023 regular season.
