It won’t be long before the Clemson Tigers are back on the field for the 2026 college baseball season.
The Tigers on Thursday unveiled their 2026 regular season schedule as head coach Erik Bakich begins his fourth season as Clemson‘s skipper. Clemson will open the season on Feb. 13 with a three-game home series against Army, part of eight straight games at Doug Kingsmore Stadium to start the schedule.
It will mark the first time in school history that Clemson baseball has played Army baseball. Two weeks later, Clemson and South Carolina meet in their annual cross-state Palmetto Series, Feb. 27-March 1. The Tigers have swept the Gamecocks in each of the past two seasons.
ACC plays begins for Clemson on Friday, March 12, with a three-game series against Georgia Tech at Doug Kingsmore. The Tigers’ first road trip in conference play is the following Thursday when they visit Notre Dame for a three-game series starting March 19.
The Tigers close the regular season with three games at Virginia Tech beginning Thursday, May 14. The ACC Tournament begins the following Tuesday and will be held at Truist Field in Charlotte, May 19-24.
Clemson also faces some familiar opponents in midweek play. The Tigers have midweek matchups with two games against each of Coastal Carolina, USC Upstate, Presbyterian and the Charlotte 49ers, as well as a game against Wake Forest in Charlotte on April 1 that will not count toward either team’s conference record.
A year ago, Clemson finished 45-18 overall and was ranked No. 20 in the final USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll. The Tigers reached the championship game of the ACC Tournament, where they fell to North Carolina.
Clemson was one of 16 teams to host an NCAA Tournament regional. The Tigers were eliminated with back-to-back losses to West Virginia and Kentucky.
NCAA Tournament play begins May 29, with Super Regionals set for June 5-8, and the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, on June 12-22.
