The 2023 Missouri Valley Football Conference football season was the 38th season of college football play for the Missouri Valley Football Conference and part of the 2023 NCAA Division I FCS football season. This was the MVFC's first season with 12 teams, as the conference added Murray State over the offseason. It was also the last season with 12 teams for now, as it was announced in May 2023 that Western Illinois would be leaving the MVFC after the 2023 season for the Ohio Valley Conference.[1]

South Dakota State made it to the National Championship and won their 2nd FCS title in program history and became the third MVFC team to win back to back titles.[2] North Dakota State made the playoffs unseeded, and won their way into the semifinals where they lost to 2nd seeded Montana.[3] South Dakota made the playoffs as the 3rd seed, and made it to the quarterfinals, where they lost to North Dakota State.[4] Youngstown State and Southern Illinois made the playoffs unseeded as well, and made it to the 2nd round, losing to 8th seeded Villanova[5] and 4th seeded Idaho.[6] North Dakota made the playoffs unseeded and lost to Sacramento State in the opening round.[7]

Previous season

In 2022, South Dakota State won the conference and received the automatic bid to the 2022 playoffs. The Jacks would go on to win their first FCS Championship over rival North Dakota State.[8]
Besides SDSU and NDSU; North Dakota made the playoffs as well. UND lost to Weber State in the first round to be eliminated from contention.[9]

Offseason

Over the offseason, the conference officially welcomed in their 12th league member. Murray State will begin their tenure as a MVFC member after joining the sister conference (Missouri Valley Conference) in the summer of 2022. The Racers arrive in the Valley from the Ohio Valley Conference.[10]

Coaching changes

Missouri State

On December 19, 2022, Ryan Beard was named the new head coach at Missouri State.[11] Beard was previously the Bears defensive coordinator for the last three years. He takes over for Bobby Petrino who left the program for an eventual job at Texas A&M.[12]

South Dakota State

On January 20, 2023, Jimmy Rogers was named the new head coach at South Dakota State.[13] Rogers was promoted from defensive coordinator for the Jacks. Former coach John Stiegelmeier retired after the end of last season, leading South Dakota State for 26 seasons.[14]
