The Tennessee Volunteers baseball schedule has been released. This is the second season that the team will be led into battle by Josh Elander as the head coach of the program. He replaced Tony Vitello, a long-time baseball coach for the Vols, when Vitello made the jump to the big leagues.

This baseball team is looking for a chance to right their wrongs that they had last season, as they fell short in the regionals against the VCU Rams.

Now their focus turns to the 2027 season, after they put together one of the best classes yet and have put themselves in a position to succeed quickly. The 2027 season will feature some massive games, including SEC play, as the Vols will have a lengthy schedule.

Here is the games that the Vols will be playing, according to the recent release.

February

This will be the only series that the Vols will play before they play High Point on Feb. 23. Following this, the Vols will conclude the month of February with the "Live Like Lou Jax College Baseball Classic."
