The University of Cincinnati Bearcats have released their 2027 baseball schedule, a 26‑game home slate at UC Baseball Stadium that underscores the program’s momentum after three consecutive winning seasons and back‑to‑back NCAA Tournament appearances.
The season opens on the road with a February 19 game at Western Carolina before the home opener on March 2 against Western Kentucky. From there the Bearcats will host a string of marquee series, including a three‑game set versus Houston, a mid‑week clash with Ball State, and a weekend series against South Alabama.
A highlight of the schedule is the 13 games slated against 2026 NCAA Tournament teams, featuring opponents such as Georgia Tech, Kansas and West Virginia. The Bearcats will also welcome Big 12 rivals Houston, Arizona, TCU, Kansas State and UCF to Cincinnati, while traveling to face Utah, Texas Tech, Kansas, West Virginia and Baylor on the road.
Key Series to Watch
Non‑conference trips to Jacksonville and Nashville will see the Bearcats compete in the Live Like Lou Jax College Baseball Classic (Feb. 26–28) and the Nashville College Baseball Series. Additional home series include matchups against Miami RedHawks (April 6) and a second game at UC Baseball Stadium (April 20).
The Big 12 portion of the schedule begins with a home series against Utah (March 19–21) and continues with road trips to Kent State (March 29) and a three‑game set at West Virginia (April 30–May 2). The final stretch of the regular season features home series against Kansas State (May 7–9) and Michigan (May 18), culminating in a home series against UCF (May 20–22).
Looking Ahead to the Big 12 Tournament
The 2027 Big 12 Tournament is scheduled for May 25–29 in Surprise, Arizona, where the Bearcats will aim to extend their recent dominance. Head coach Jordan Bischel, now in his fourth season, will rely on a core that includes Big 12 Freshman of the Year Enzo Infelise, All‑American Quinton Coats, and veteran reliever Derrick Pitts, alongside All‑Big 12 honorees Adam Buczkowski, Connor Blue and Ryan Tyranski.
With a historic three‑year winning streak, a deep pitching staff and a lineup loaded with returning talent, the Bearcats enter 2027 as a formidable contender both at home and on the road.
