MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics has announced the 2027 Mountaineer Baseball schedule.
Â
The 55-game slate features 22 contests at Wagener Field at Kendrick Family Ballpark as well as 23 meetings with 2025 NCAA Tournament teams. In all, WVU will take on nine squads that reached the postseason, including two teams that advanced to Super Regionals.
Â
The Mountaineers are coming off the best season in program history in which they advanced to the College World Series for the first time, ultimately reaching the national semifinals. Overall, West Virginia went 47-17, setting a new program record for wins.
Â
The 136th year of Mountaineer baseball and third under head coach Steve Sabins gets started with a series on the road at The College of Charleston from Feb. 19-21. The Mountaineers follow that with a weekend down in Florida, starting with a game against St. John's on Feb. 25 in DeLand, before playing in the Orlando Baseball Classic from Feb. 26-28, where they will play Indiana State St. John's and Michigan.
Â
West Virginia plays its home opener on March 2, against Ohio. It is the third straight year the Mountaineers have opened the home slate with the Bobcats.
Â
The Mountaineers are back on the road for five games in South Carolina, beginning with a three-game set at perennial power Coastal Carolina, March 5-7, before taking on two-time defending Big South champion USC Upstate for two games, March 9-10.
Â
From March 12-14, WVU plays Kennesaw State for its first home series of the season. That is followed by midweek road contest at Maryland on March 16.
Â
WVU opens Big 12 play on the road at Houston, March 19-21, before coming home for five straight home games. The homestand begins with a matchup against Youngstown State, March 23, before an Easter Weekend series against reigning Big 12 champion Kansas, March 25-27. The Mountaineers then host Penn State on March 30.
Â
After a series at UCF, April 2-4, the Mountaineers are on the road for the first of three games this season against Marshall, April 6. Following that is two straight home weekends against Arizona State, April 9-11, and Baylor, April 16-18. Sandwiched in between those two weekends is a contest on the road at Penn State on April 13.
Â
The only Backyard Brawl of the season will take place on April 20, at Charles Cost Field in Pittsburgh.
Â
The Mountaineers then travel to Provo to take on BYU, April 22-24, before a home game against Marshall, April 27, and home weekend series against Cincinnati, April 30-May 2. WVU follows that with a game against Marshall from GoMart Ballpark in Charleston on May 4.
Â
From May 7-9, WVU will travel to Tucson for the fourth time in five years. However, this is the first time Arizona and WVU will battle it out as Big 12 foes in the Cactus State as previous trips were a non-conference series in 2023, NCAA Regionals in 2024, and a single non-conference game in 2026.
Â
The final nonconference game of the season will take place at Meritus Park in Hagerstown, Maryland on May 12, as the Mountaineers take on Virginia for the first time since 1949.
Â
West Virginia plays its final home series of the season against Oklahoma State, May 14-16, after skipping the Cowboys in 2026. The Mountaineers close out the season on the road at TCU, May 20-22.
Â
The 2027 Big 12 Baseball Tournament presented by Allstate will return to Surprise Stadium, the spring training home of the Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers, and will be held May 25-29 in Surprise, Arizona.
