The Big Ten Conference announced the full conference schedule for the Ohio State Buckeyes baseball team for the 2027 season, setting the stage for a slate that blends tradition with fresh challenges.
The Buckeyes open Big Ten play with a three‑game series at Illinois, March 19‑21, marking the first conference matchup of the year.
A week later, Ohio State will host Washington in a historic first‑ever series at Bill Davis Stadium, March 26‑28, as the Huskies make their debut in Columbus.
The Buckeyes then travel to Eugene for the first time in program history, April 2‑4, to meet the Oregon Ducks in a three‑game set that promises a new chapter on the West Coast.
Michigan Series Marks a Milestone
Back in Columbus, Ohio State welcomes Michigan for a home series April 9‑11, a reunion that comes on the heels of a recent sweep in Ann Arbor and adds another layer of rivalry.
The team will also host Northwestern (April 16‑18), Iowa (April 30‑May 2) and Maryland (May 7‑9), each series bringing its own storylines to the schedule.
Mid‑season road trips take the Buckeyes to East Lansing for a series at Michigan State (April 23‑25) and to Iowa City for a showdown with the Hawkeyes, continuing a pattern of competitive away games.
The regular season concludes with a series at Nebraska (May 20‑22), where Ohio State will look to extend its perfect sweep record against the Cornhuskers.
All of these matchups build toward the Big Ten Tournament, scheduled for May at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska, where the conference champion will be crowned.
With a blend of historic first‑time visits and familiar rivalries, the 2027 schedule offers fans a compelling narrative that stretches from the opening series in Illinois to the final showdown in Omaha.
