Rankings from AP Poll

The 2023 Cincinnati Bearcats football team represented the University of Cincinnati during the 2023 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Bearcats, members of the Big 12 Conference, played home games at Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. 2023 was the program's first season under head coach Scott Satterfield.

In September 2021, Cincinnati, BYU, Houston, and UCF accepted bids to join the Big 12.[2] On June 10, the American Athletic Conference and the three American Athletic Conference schools schools set to depart from the league (Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF) announced that they had reached a buyout agreement with the conference that will allow those schools to join the Big 12 Conference in 2023.[3] BYU had previously operated as an independent prior to accepting a membership invitation to join the Big 12 conference.

Two years removed from their appearance in the College Football Playoff, the Bearcats failed to qualify for a bowl game for the first time since 2017 after a loss to UCF.
