The University of Iowa baseball program is set to kick off its 2027 season far from home, opening the year in Arlington, Texas. The Hawkeyes will participate in the Amegy Bank College Baseball Series, a three‑day event that showcases some of the nation’s most competitive collegiate teams.
A Strategic Start in Arlington
Scheduled for February 26‑28, 2027, the tournament will take place at Globe Life Field, the home of the Texas Rangers. The venue, known for its state‑of‑the‑art facilities, will host a slate of games that pit Iowa against a mix of Big Ten and national contenders.
Alongside the Hawkeyes, the event will feature Arkansas, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Oregon, and Oregon State, promising a packed schedule of high‑level baseball. Specific matchups and game times are slated to be announced in the coming weeks, adding to the anticipation among fans and players alike.
All games will be streamed live on FloCollege, giving supporters across the country a chance to follow the action in real time. Home Plate Reserved tickets go on sale June 25 at 9 a.m. Central Time, while general admission will follow once the full schedule is released.
Iowa enters the new season riding a strong finish to 2026, having posted a 33‑23 record and securing its 11th straight appearance in the Big Ten Tournament. The team’s recent success underscores the program’s consistency and sets high expectations for the upcoming campaign.
With a blend of experienced veterans and promising newcomers, the Hawkeyes hope to translate their recent momentum into a competitive showing in Texas. The Arlington series offers a valuable early‑season test against elite opposition, potentially shaping the team’s trajectory as the season unfolds.
