The SEC better buckle up, because Texas baseball just dropped its full 2027 conference schedule, and the Longhorns are not messing around. This team is bringing back 14 letterwinners and stacking up a highly-rated transfer class plus a top-five recruiting class, setting them up big for what’s coming.
Get Ready for Fall Ball
Before the SEC madness kicks off, the Longhorns are hitting the field this fall for an exhibition game. Mark your calendars for October 3rd, because they are heading to Round Rock’s Dell Diamond for a noon showdown against Houston. It’s just one nine-inning scrimmage, their only fall contest, but it’s a chance to see some of that new talent in action. Historically, Texas owns Houston with a 99-35-2 all-time series lead, but don’t forget the Cougars snuck a 9-7 win last March. Bet the Longhorns remember that one.
The SEC Gauntlet Is Set
Coach Jim Schlossnagle, fresh off his second season which saw Texas reach the College World Series in 2026, has a serious slate ahead. The SEC schedule is officially out, and it’s a grind. Fans are gonna pack the stands for huge home series against South Carolina (March 25-27), Tennessee (April 9-11), Arkansas (April 23-25), Vanderbilt (April 30-May 2), and a massive rivalry clash with Texas A&M (May 14-16). But the road trips are no joke either. They’re heading to LSU (March 19-21), Alabama (April 2-4), Florida (April 16-18), Oklahoma (May 7-9), and Georgia (May 20-22). Every single one of those is a battle.
That October 3rd exhibition against Houston is gonna be the first look at what this squad is cooking up. With 14 letterwinners returning, plus a highly-rated transfer class and a top-five recruiting class joining the mix, the Longhorns are loading up to tackle that brutal SEC schedule. It’s gonna be wild to watch this team prepare and see how they stack up against the best in college baseball.
