The 2023 Pac-12 Football Championship Game will be a college football game that will be played on December 1, 2023, at Allegiant Stadium in the Las Vegas-area community of Paradise, Nevada. It will be the 13th and final edition of the Pac-12 Football Championship Game, and will determine the champion of the Pac-12 Conference for the 2023 season. The game will begin at 5:00 p.m. PST and will air on ABC. The game will feature the Washington Huskies and the Oregon Ducks.

Previous season

In 2022, the matchup in the championship game was between the No. 11 Utah and No. 4 USC. Utah won by a score of 47-24.

Teams

The 2023 Pac-12 Championship Game will feature the Washington Huskies representing the #1 seed, and the Oregon Ducks representing the #2 seed.

The rivals previously met in the regular season on October 14, 2023, a 36–33 Washington win.

Formerly both members of the Pac-12 North Division, the teams were previously unable to rematch in the Pac-12 championship game. However, a 2022 NCAA and conference rule change eliminated the North versus South divisional matchup.[1] This will be the final regular season game in the Pac-12 Conference for both teams, with Oregon and Washington set to begin play in the Big Ten Conference in 2024.

Washington Huskies

The Huskies clinched the top seed in the game with their win over Oregon State on November 18.

This will be the third Pac-12 title game appearance for Washington and their first since 2018. They are 2–0 overall in previous appearances, winning in 2016 and 2018.

Oregon Ducks

The Ducks clinched the second seed with their victory over Oregon State on November 24.[2]

This will be the sixth Pac-12 title game appearance for Oregon and their first since 2021. They are 4–1 overall in previous appearances.
