Oregon State Baseball released its 2026 schedule on Thursday, laying out a demanding spring slate. The Beavers open with 11 straight road games, beginning on Feb. 13 against Michigan in Surprise, Arizona.
The opening weekend continues on Feb. 14 and 15 with Arizona and Stanford, two former Pac-12 opponents. OSU then heads to Texas for matchups with Baylor on Feb. 20, Southern Miss on Feb. 21 and Purdue on Feb. 22.
The road trip closes with Houston on Feb. 27 and Alabama on Feb. 28. Both programs are known for strong pitching and physical play, making them early season tests that often reveal what a team can handle.
The rivalry arrives early on March 3, when OSU travels to Eugene to face Oregon. The matchup should carry a heated tone as both colleges fight to win the 372 matchup between the teams. The Beavers return to Corvallis on March 6 for their home opener, starting a four-game series with Xavier.
March also includes a home series with Mercer from March 27-29 and a home game with Washington on March 31. OSU begins a long road stretch on March 13 at San Diego before traveling to Portland on March 17.
That run continues with UC Irvine from March 20-22, a venue known for strong energy and tight games. Oregon State then meets USC on March 24, adding another familiar west coast opponent to the month.
April brings stability, with a fifteen game homestand starting on April 10. Oregon visits Goss Stadium on April 22, a date expected to produce one of the strongest crowds of the season.
Last time these teams met, which was at PK Park, UO set the record for the highest regular season attendance in their history, with 4,278 fans.
Before that long run at home, the Beavers travel to Lamar for a series from April 2-4. Shortly after, OSU heads to Pullman to face Washington State on April 6 and 7, their only current Pac-12 rival, as this is the last year the two compete separately in baseball, with OSU being an independent.
The homestand features Cal Poly from April 10-12 and Cal State Fullerton from April 17-19. Hawaii arrives from April 24-26, followed by University of Texas Rio Grand Valley on April 28 and 29. A rematch from existing years occurs as well, with CSUN from May 1-3.
Oregon State closes the regular season with a road trip to Long Beach State from May 8-10, a ballpark known for close and competitive games. The year ends at home with Portland on May 12 and Air Force from May 14-16.
With key rivalry dates, several former Pac-12 opponents and challenging west coast programs throughout the spring, the 2026 season offers Beaver fans a full slate of can’t miss moments as OSU aims for another postseason run.
