TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama baseball has officially been named as one of the four teams to participate in the 2026 Frisco College Baseball Classic, as announced by Peak Events on Tuesday.
The Crimson Tide, along with Houston, Iowa, and Oregon State, are all slated to participate in the round-robin tournament to be played at Riders Field, the home of the Texas Rangers’ Double-A affiliate, the Frisco RoughRiders.
Alabama will open its time in Frisco with a matchup against Iowa on Feb. 27 at 6 p.m. CT, as the Hawkeyes were 33-22-1 a season ago. The Feb. 27 meeting will represent the first pairing between the two schools.
