February 2026: Opening Month & Salute the Troops
Monthly Highlight: February sets the stage for the season with Northern Kentucky providing the opening series at Founders Park. The standout weekend is the “Salute the Troops” celebration (Feb 20-22), where the Gamecocks honor military service academies by hosting Army, Navy, and Air Force in three separate matchups. The month closes with the always-intense rivalry series against Clemson, split between home, neutral site (Segra Park), and away.

| Feb 13 (5:00 PM) | vs Northern Kentucky | Founders Park |

What to Watch: The Northern Kentucky series tests your pitching depth early, while the Clemson games (Feb 27-28 and into March 1) set the tone for in-state bragging rights. Don’t sleep on that mid-week Wofford trip—it’s a quick turnaround before things really heat up.
March 2026: SEC Play Begins
Monthly Highlight: March is when the schedule gets serious. The Gamecocks open SEC conference play with a challenging road trip to Gainesville to face Florida (March 13-15), followed by their first home conference series against Arkansas (March 20-22). A late-month road swing to Georgia rounds out three straight weekends of SEC action. Between conference games, Carolina squeezes in matchups with Princeton, USC Upstate, Charleston Southern, and a neutral-site meeting with North Carolina in Charlotte.
| Date | Opponent | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Mar 1 (3:00 PM) | at Clemson | Clemson, S.C. |
| Mar 3 (6:30 PM) | vs USC Upstate | Founders Park |
| Mar 4 (6:30 PM) | vs Charleston Southern | Founders Park |
| Mar 7 (1:00 PM) | vs Princeton (DH) | Founders Park |

| Mar 29 (1:00 PM) | at Georgia (SEC) | Athens, Ga. |
| Mar 31 (6:30 PM) | vs Wofford | Founders Park |
What to Watch: The Florida series is historically tough—expect packed crowds and primetime atmosphere. Arkansas coming to Columbia should draw big home crowds, and the Gamecocks will want to defend Founders Park. That Georgia road trip could define early-season SEC standings.
April 2026: Brutal SEC Stretch
Monthly Highlight: April might be the toughest month on the schedule. It starts with Texas making their first-ever SEC appearance at Founders Park (April 2-4)—a marquee home series that should be electric. Then comes a road trip to Missouri, followed by back-to-back home SEC series against Mississippi State and Kentucky. Mix in mid-week games against College of Charleston, Davidson, Presbyterian, and The Citadel, and you’ve got a month with almost no breathing room.
| Date | Opponent | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Apr 2 (7:00 PM) | vs Texas (SEC) | Founders Park |
| Apr 3 (7:00 PM) | vs Texas (SEC) | Founders Park |
| Apr 4 (2:00 PM) | vs Texas (SEC) | Founders Park |

| Apr 18 (1:00 PM) | vs Mississippi State (SEC) | Founders Park |
| Apr 19 (1:30 PM) | vs Mississippi State (SEC) | Founders Park |
| Apr 21 (6:30 PM) | vs Presbyterian | Founders Park |
| Apr 24 (7:00 PM) | vs Kentucky (SEC) | Founders Park |
| Apr 25 (4:00 PM) | vs Kentucky (SEC) | Founders Park |
| Apr 26 (3:00 PM) | vs Kentucky (SEC) | Founders Park |
| Apr 28 (6:30 PM) | vs The Citadel | Founders Park |
What to Watch: The Texas series is appointment viewing—their move to the SEC makes this a historic home series. Mississippi State and Kentucky are both traditionally strong programs, and winning home series against both would be huge for RPI and postseason seeding.
May 2026: The Final Push & Postseason
Monthly Highlight: May is crunch time. The Gamecocks face a brutal road trip to Baton Rouge to battle LSU (May 1-3), followed by a crucial home series against Alabama (May 8-10). The regular season wraps with a challenging road series at Vanderbilt (May 14-16), one of the SEC’s most difficult venues. Then it’s straight to the SEC Tournament in Hoover, Alabama (May 19-24), followed by NCAA Regional assignments (May 29-June 1).
| Date | Opponent/Event | Location |
|---|---|---|
| May 1 (7:30 PM) | at LSU (SEC) | Baton Rouge, La. |
| May 2 (7:00 PM) | at LSU (SEC) | Baton Rouge, La. |
| May 3 (3:00 PM) | at LSU (SEC) | Baton Rouge, La. |
| May 8 (5:30 PM) | vs Alabama (SEC) | Founders Park |
| May 9 (1:00 PM) | vs Alabama (SEC) | Founders Park |
| May 10 (1:30 PM) | vs Alabama (SEC) | Founders Park |
| May 12 (6:30 PM) | vs Winthrop | Founders Park |
| May 14 (7:00 PM) | at Vanderbilt (SEC) | Nashville, Tenn. |
| May 15 (7:00 PM) | at Vanderbilt (SEC) | Nashville, Tenn. |
| May 16 (2:00 PM) | at Vanderbilt (SEC) | Nashville, Tenn. |
| May 19-24 | SEC Tournament | Hoover, Ala. |
| May 29-Jun 1 | NCAA Regionals | Campus Sites |
What to Watch: LSU at Alex Box Stadium is always an experience—one of college baseball’s toughest road environments. The Alabama home series is your last chance to see the Gamecocks at Founders Park before the postseason. How Carolina finishes at Vanderbilt could determine their SEC Tournament seeding.
June 2026: Road to Omaha
Monthly Highlight: If the Gamecocks advance through Regionals, June brings the NCAA Super Regionals (June 5-8) at campus sites, followed by the ultimate goal: the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska (June 12-22). These dates represent the pinnacle of college baseball—Charles Schwab Field Omaha
, national spotlight, championship dreams.
| Date | Event | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Jun 5-8 | NCAA Super Regionals | Campus Sites |
| Jun 12-22 | NCAA College World Series | Omaha, Neb. |
What to Watch: Everything. If South Carolina is playing in June, they’re in the hunt for a national championship. Omaha is where legends are made.
