Iowa baseball releases full 56-game 2027 schedule

Iowa baseball has unveiled their complete 56-game regular-season schedule for the 2027 season. Head coach Rick Heller announced the roster on Monday, just three months prior to the start of the campaign. The Hawkeyes' inaugural event will take place at the Sun Coast Classic in North Port, Florida, from February 19-21, where they will face Air Force, Marshall, and Western Michigan.

Their season opener is scheduled for February 23 against Nebraska-Omaha at home, Duane Banks Field. Throughout the campaign, the Hawkeyes will host 25 games at their own facility. The team will participate in three early-season tournaments, including the Amegy Bank College Baseball Series in Dallas from February 26-28, featuring Oklahoma State, Baylor, and Arkansas.

The Hawkeyes will also venture to Las Vegas in March for the Live Like Lou Las Vegas College Baseball Classic from March 5-7 against Arizona State, Oregon State, and LSU. They return to Iowa for two games at Principal Park - a meeting with St. Thomas on May 4 and a Big Ten series against Rutgers from May 14-16.

The Hawkeyes kick off their Big Ten play at UCLA from March 12-14 before hosting USC from March 19-21. They will face Penn State and Nebraska at home during the April 9-11 and April 16-18 respectively, with a match against Northwestern scheduled for May 7-9. Nonconference games include series against Butler in April, two games with St. Thomas and another two against North Dakota State, among others.

The Big Ten Tournament will be held at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska, from May 25-27. Iowa concluded the previous season with a 33-23 overall record, securing a spot in the tournament for the 11th consecutive year. The team aims to build upon this success in the forthcoming season.
