The Kansas Jayhawks on Wednesday announced kickoff times and television/streaming information for two games early in the 2023 season.

KU will open its season against Missouri State at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 31, at Booth Memorial Stadium. That game will be streamed on ESPN+.

Two weeks later, Kansas meets Nevada on Saturday, Sept. 16 in Reno, Nevada. That game features a 9:30 p.m. Central Time kickoff; it will be streamed on CBS Sports Network.

In between, on Sept. 9, KU will play host to Illinois. But that kickoff time has yet to be unveiled.

KU revealed its 2023 schedule in February, but times and television plans were still to come at that time.
