BATON ROUGE, La. – LSU on Tuesday released its 56-game 2026 baseball schedule, which begins on Friday, February 13, when the Tigers face Milwaukee in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field.

LSU, the reigning NCAA National Champion, will play more than half of its regular-season schedule – 31 games – against teams that participated in the 2025 NCAA Tournament.

Starting times for the 2026 SEC games will be determined in the coming months after television schedules and team travel arrangements are finalized.

The Tigers’ 2026 non-conference schedule is highlighted by a trip to Jacksonville, Fla., where LSU will participate on February 20-22 in the Live Like Lou Jax College Baseball Classic. The Tigers will take on Indiana, Notre Dame and UCF at VyStar Ballpark, home of the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, the Miami Marlins’ Triple-A affiliate.

The 30-game Southeastern Conference slate begins with a weekend road series at Vanderbilt on March 13. The Tigers will also travel for SEC weekends at Tennessee, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Georgia.

LSU’s SEC home-opening series begins on March 20 versus Oklahoma. The Tigers will also play host to league foes Kentucky, Texas A&M, South Carolina and Florida.

Dates for some SEC games could change once the league determines its television schedule.

Preparation for the 2026 season is underway, as the Tigers are engaged in conditioning drills and individual workouts. LSU begins its six-week, full-squad fall practice period on Thursday, October 9.

Along with its customary intra-squad scrimmages, LSU will engage in two scrimmages this fall against other schools.
