The 1933 Michigan State Spartans football team represented Michigan State College as an independent during the 1933 college football season. In their first season under head coach Charlie Bachman, the Spartans compiled a 4–2–2 record and lost their annual rivalry game with Michigan by a 20 to 6 score. In inter-sectional play, the team defeated Syracuse (27-3) and played scoreless ties with Kansas State and Carnegie Mellon.[1][2]
