IRVINE, Calif. --- Anteater baseball returns this Spring looking to return to prominence and the postseason with a stacked 2027 schedule ahead.
Some of the big schedule highlights for 2027:
Everyone's favorite annual Alumni Game kicks the 2027 campaign off on Saturday, January 30 with greats from all 48 seasons of Anteater Baseball.
The Anteaters begin 2027 much like 2026 on the road. They'll start with a four-game series against California from the Atlantic Coast Conference February 19-22, part of UCI's schedule that features an opponent from each of the Power 4 conferences.
UC Irvine opens Anteater Ballpark February 26-28 with a three-game set against an NCAA Regional squad, the Lamar Cardinals out of the Southland Conference, a program that has reached a regional or won 40 games in each of the last three seasons.
The 'Eaters then embark on a Southwest road trip to begin March. UCI plays a pair of midweek games at Grand Canyon, March 3-4, and continue on East to the Frisco College Baseball Classic premier tournament in Frisco, Texas to play the defending College World Series Champions, Oklahoma, on Friday night, and continue the weekend against perennial postseason contender Southern Miss on March 6, and a 2026 Super Regional squad out of the Big XII to complete the weekend in Kansas.
Non-conference weekends finish up with a Thursday-Friday-Saturday road trip to Big XII side BYU, March 11-13.
Big West action gets going March 19-21 in Anteater Ballpark as the first of 10 Big West weekends. New conference foe, Utah Valley, starts the party with every home weekend featured on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The rest of the Big West procession filing through Anteater Ballpark follows with UC San Diego (April 9-11), UC Riverside (April 23-25), Long Beach State (May 7-9), and the final home weekend May 14-16 vs. Cal State Fullerton.
UCI's Big West road weekends including at CSUN (March 25-27), Cal Poly (April 2-4), Sacramento State (April 16-18), UC Santa Barbara (April 30 - May 2), and the final weekend of the season at California Baptist, May 20-22.
