The 2023 Richmond Spiders football team represented the University of Richmond as a member of Coastal Athletic Association Football Conference (CAA) in the 2023 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Spiders were led by seventh-year head coach Russ Huesman and played their home games at E. Claiborne Robins Stadium in Richmond, Virginia.
The CAA, formerly known as the Colonial Athletic Association from 2007 through 2022, changed its name in July 2023 to accommodate future membership expansion outside of the Thirteen Colonies.
In the CAA preseason poll released on July 25, 2023, the Spiders were predicted to finish in third place out of 15 teams following the addition of Campbell and North Carolina A&T for the 2023 season.[1] [2]
