Nebraska Baseball Unveils 2026 Schedule Featuring Powerhouse Matchups

The Nebraska Cornhuskers have officially released their 2026 baseball schedule, setting the stage for a season packed with high-stakes matchups and national exposure.

From early-season tournaments in Arizona and Texas to marquee home series against Michigan State and USC, the Huskers are embracing a coast-to-coast challenge. With postseason ambitions and a roster built for depth and versatility, head coach Will Bolt’s squad is poised to make noise across the college baseball landscape.

Nebraska's 2026 schedule is a 56-game gauntlet that blends high-profile non-conference clashes with a rigorous Big Ten slate. Bolt’s squad will face eight NCAA Tournament teams from 2025, signaling a bold intent to test the Huskers early and often.

The Cornhuskers open their 2026 season under the desert sun, competing in the MLB Desert Invitational in Scottsdale, Arizona, from Feb. 13–16. Though specific opponents are yet to be finalized, the tournament guarantees top-tier competition and a national spotlight. The Huskers then shift to Arlington, Texas, for the Amegy Bank College Baseball Series at Globe Life Field (Feb. 20–22), where confirmed matchups include Louisville, Kansas State, and Florida State, three programs with postseason pedigree and national recognition.

Nebraska’s 2026 non-conference schedule is a blend of gritty road tests and high-profile home showdowns. The Huskers hit the road for a three-game series at Auburn (Feb. 27–March 1), along with midweek battles against Missouri State (March 10-11) and Wichita State (March 17-18).
