LAFAYETTE – The Sun Belt Conference announced its 2022-23 schedule on Tuesday, unveiling the matchups and dates of Louisiana’s 18-game league slate.
Louisiana, which reached the SBC Championship Game last season, will begin conference action on Thursday, Dec. 29 at Coastal Carolina and conclude their regular-season matchups at home against South Alabama on Friday, Feb. 24.
Louisiana's schedule features home-and-home matchups with Sun Belt newcomer Southern Miss in addition to ULM, South Alabama, Arkansas State, Texas State and Troy.
