Kansas Baseball Reveals 2026 Schedule – University of Kansas
“We really like our 2026 schedule,” Big 12 Coach of the Year Dan Fitzgerald said. “Our four non-conference weekends will be really challenging and will certainly prepare us for another tough Big 12 slate. We’ve had a great first month of team practice and are looking forward to finishing the next few weeks before we move into another skill development segment.”
Kansas begins the season on Feb. 13 in Edinburg, Texas, for a three-game series against UTRGV. The Jayhawks will continue an extended opening road trip with a midweek game at Lamar and a series at McNeese State the following weekend.
The 23 games at Hoglund Ballpark in 2026 will begin on Thursday, March 5 with St. Thomas. The home conference opener will come on March 20 against Houston. The Jayhawks will also host pivotal Big 12 series against Arizona and West Virginia in May. Arizona participated in the College World Series a season ago and West Virginia played in a Super Regional last year.
The Jayhawks will also have a rematch of its NCAA Regional opener from last season on May 5 at Creighton. The Bluejays play their home games at Charles Schwab Field Omaha, the home of the College World Series.
There is one neutral site game on the schedule early in the season. On March 7, the Jayhawks will play St. Thomas at Legends Field in Kansas City, Kansas. The game will be played in Kansas City due to a men’s basketball game happening on that day at Allen Fieldhouse.
Kansas qualified for the NCAA Tournament last season for the first time since 2014. The team set new program records with 42 regular season wins, 20 Big 12 victories, seven conference series wins, five conference series sweeps, 20 road wins, 26 come-from-behind victories and 104 home runs.
Following the season, Fitzgerald agreed to a six-year contract extension through the 2031 season. Key contributors from last season’s team that will be returning this year include Brady Ballinger, Kannon Carr, Dariel Osoria, Dominic Voegele and Manning West.
This will be the 136th season of baseball at the University of Kansas.
