Texas Baseball Unveils Loaded 2027 Schedule With 35 Home Games

Texas baseball isn't backing away from tough competition in 2027, and head coach Jim Schlossnagle's newly released schedule makes that abundantly clear.

The Longhorns announced their 54-game regular-season slate Monday, featuring 35 home contests at UFCU Disch-Falk Field and 26 games against 11 programs that reached the 2026 NCAA Tournament.

It's an ambitious schedule for a Texas program coming off another College World Series appearance and looking to make a serious run at a national championship.

"We're looking forward to the competition this schedule brings," Schlossnagle said.

The Longhorns open February 19 against Clemson at the Shriners Children's College Showdown at Globe Life Field in Arlington. They'll face in-state rival TCU the following day before closing the event against Virginia on February 21.

Texas then returns to Austin for a 13-game homestand beginning February 23 against Lamar.

Washington State, Loyola Marymount and Murray State highlight the early home schedule, giving the Longhorns an opportunity to establish momentum before SEC competition begins.

And that's where things get particularly interesting.

Texas opens conference play March 19-21 at LSU before welcoming South Carolina to Austin March 25-27.

The Longhorns will also host Tennessee, Arkansas and Vanderbilt before closing their home SEC schedule against Texas A&M in the Cotton Holdings Lone Star Showdown in May.

Road trips to Alabama, Florida, Oklahoma and Georgia round out a challenging conference schedule.

The Aggies series figures to be one of the most anticipated weekends at Disch-Falk Field, continuing a rivalry that has gained even more significance since Texas joined the SEC.

But the Longhorns aren't simply relying on home-field advantage.

Schlossnagle returns 14 letterwinners, including two-time consensus All-American Dylan Volantis, 2026 NCBWA Stopper of the Year Sam Cozart and Baseball America's 2026 National Freshman of the Year Anthony Pack Jr.

Texas also strengthened its roster with Baseball America's third-ranked transfer portal class and fourth-ranked incoming recruiting class.

The expectations are understandable.

In Schlossnagle's first two seasons, Texas compiled a 90-29 record, winning 75.6 percent of its games. That represents the nation's third-best winning percentage during that span.

The Longhorns also went 41-18 in SEC competition, producing the conference's best winning percentage since Texas joined the league.

After reaching the College World Series in 2026, Texas enters next spring with another opportunity to establish itself among college baseball's elite.

And with a loaded roster, 35 home games and another demanding SEC schedule, the Longhorns should have plenty of chances to prove they're legitimate championship contenders.
