2023 William & Mary Tribe football team
The 2023 William & Mary Tribe football team will represent the College of William & Mary as a member of the Coastal Athletic Association Football Conference (CAA) during the 2023 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Tribe, led by fifth-year head coach Mike London, will play their home games at Zable Stadium.

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.

Previous season

The Tribe finished the 2022 season with an overall record of 11–2, 7–1 CAA play to finish in a tie with New Hampshire as conference co-champions. They went 6–0 on the road in the regular season for the first time in program history. William & Mary earned the FCS playoffs automatic bid. They made it to the quarterfinals before losing 55–7 to the #3 team in the nation, Montana State. The 11 wins tied a school record previously set twice, in 2004 and 2009.

Preseason

CAA poll
In the CAA preseason poll released on July 25, 2023, the Tribe were predicted to finish in first place out of 15 teams following the addition of Campbell and North Carolina A&T for the 2023 season.

Preseason All-CAA team
Junior linebacker John Pius, redshirt senior running back Bronson Yoder, junior offensive lineman Charles Grant, redshirt senior defensive lineman Nate Lynn, redshirt senior linebacker Isaiah Jones, redshirt senior cornerback Ryan Poole, and redshirt sophomore cornerback Jalen Jones were named to the CAA preseason all-conference team.
