The 2023 Pac-12 Football Championship Game was a college football game played on December 1, 2023, at Allegiant Stadium in the Las Vegas-area community of Paradise, Nevada. It was the 13th and final edition of the Pac-12 Football Championship Game, and determined the champion of the Pac-12 Conference for the 2023 season. The game featured the Washington Huskies and the Oregon Ducks.
The 2023 Pac-12 Championship Game featured 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 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 was the final regular season game in the Pac-12 Conference for both teams, and the final championship game in the conference, as all but two members will move to other conferences starting in the 2024 season. Oregon and Washington are set to begin play in the Big Ten Conference in 2024.
The Huskies clinched the top seed in the game with their win over Oregon State on November 18.
This was the third and final Pac-12 title game appearance for Washington and their first since 2018. Having won both of their previous appearances in 2016 and 2018, they finished 3–0 in overall appearances including this game.
The Ducks clinched the second seed with their victory over Oregon State on November 24.[2]
This was the sixth and final Pac-12 title game appearance for Oregon and their first since 2021. They were 4-1 in previous appearances heading into the game and finished 4–2 overall.
