Football is winding down, but the calendar at Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field, is already filling up. LSU has released its 56-game 2027 baseball schedule, and Baton Rouge fans can start circling dates now.

A Preview This Month

You don't have to wait until February to see the Tigers. LSU plays two fall exhibition games at home in November: against Troy on Sunday, Nov. 8, at 1 p.m., and against Southeastern Louisiana on Friday, Nov. 13, with the start time still to be announced.

Opening Weekend and February

The season starts Friday, Feb. 19, with a doubleheader against Long Island at 1 and 6 p.m. The series continues Saturday at 3 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. Milwaukee visits Tuesday, Feb. 23, at 6 p.m., followed by The Citadel for a three-game weekend Feb. 26-28.

March brings Cornell (March 12-14) and LSU New Orleans (March 16) before Southeastern Conference play begins.

SEC Weekends at the Box

LSU hosts five league series in 2027:

Texas, March 19-21

Vanderbilt, April 2-4

Ole Miss, April 16-18

Georgia, April 30-May 2

Mississippi State, May 14-16

Start times for SEC games will be set once television schedules are finalized, and LSU notes some dates could shift.

In-State Tuesday Nights

Midweek games are a Louisiana affair, most with 6 p.m. first pitches: Southeastern (March 23), Southern (March 30), Grambling State (April 6), Nicholls (April 13), UL Lafayette (April 20), McNeese (April 27), Louisiana Tech (May 4) and UL Monroe (May 11). South Alabama closes the home slate on May 18.

On the Road

Away from Baton Rouge, the Tigers head to Las Vegas March 5-7 for the Live Like Lou Las Vegas College Baseball Classic, then visit Florida, Arkansas, Texas A&M, Missouri and Kentucky in SEC play. The SEC Tournament is May 25-30 in Hoover, Ala.

With 31 games against 2026 NCAA Tournament teams, it's a schedule built for big crowds. Pencil in a few weekends and start planning the tailgate.
