The University of Iowa baseball team will play a 57-game regular-season schedule in 2027, according to a report from Hawk Fanatic.

Head coach Rick Heller announced the upcoming slate on Monday, outlining a season that balances heavy early-season travel with significant home matchups at Duane Banks Field. The Hawkeyes are looking to build on their 2026 momentum, having finished that campaign with a 33-23 record and securing their 11th consecutive appearance in the Big Ten Tournament.

The season begins in Florida. From February 19 to February 21, the Hawkeyes will compete in the Sun Coast Classic in North Port, facing Air Force, Marshall, and Western Michigan.

A gauntlet of early-season tournaments

Iowa’s nonconference schedule features a demanding stretch of tournament play designed to test the roster against high-level competition. Following the Florida trip, the team travels to Dallas, Texas, for the Amegy Bank College Baseball Series from February 26 to February 28. During this series, College Baseball Insider reports the Hawkeyes will face Oklahoma State, Baylor, and Arkansas at Globe Life Field.
