Miami Baseball Releases Schedule for 2026 Season

Miami baseball released its full 2026 schedule, and head coach J.D. Arteaga enters Year 3 with a slate loaded with rivalry weekends, cross-country travel and ACC grind. Miami’s Thursday release confirmed dates, opponents and postseason timeline for a campaign that follows last spring’s super regional run.

The season opener comes Feb. 13 with the first of three home dates against Lehigh, the start of a long February stay at Mark Light Field. UCF, Indiana State and Lafayette follow before Florida rolls into Coral Gables for a Feb. 27–March 1 showdown that should pack the Light and rekindle every old grudge between orange and green and blue and orange. Miami and the Gators stand deadlocked 136-136-1 through 236 meetings. Bragging rights and momentum for the season’s middle third sit on the line when that rivalry resumes.

ACC play launches March 6-8 with Boston College visiting Coral Gables. Virginia Tech (April 3-5), Wake Forest (April 10-12) and league newcomer Cal (April 24-26) also travel south, giving Miami four home conference weekends and several chances to stack RPI juice without leaving the city.

The Hurricanes head to Duke from March 13-15, then tackle Clemson (March 26-28) and NC State (May 1-3) before the traditional regular-season finale at Florida State, set for May 14-16 in Tallahassee.

One of the most intriguing stretches arrives in mid-April, when Miami travels to the West Coast for a rare three-game set at Stanford from April 17-19. A cross-country grind around finals and league play will tell a lot about the club.

Beyond weekend series, the schedule features familiar Sunshine State and regional foes. Miami faces FAU, FIU, Bethune-Cookman, Creighton and FGCU, matchups that frequently carry sneaky RPI weight by May.

Postseason dates already hold spots on the calendar. The ACC Baseball Championship runs May 19-24 in Charlotte, followed by NCAA Regionals from May 29-June 1, Super Regionals from June 5-7 and the College World Series in Omaha from June 12-21.

Arteaga’s third team carries momentum from last year’s postseason push and an offense anchored by slugger Daniel Cuvet, who mashed throughout 2025. The staff leaned on a wave of newcomers during fall ball and exhibition play, and the 2026 schedule offers enough early home cooking to sort out rotations and bullpen roles before ACC pressure spikes.
