COLUMBIA, S.C. — Founders Park in Columbia will host the start of South Carolina’s 2027 baseball season on Friday, Feb. 19, when the Gamecocks open a three-game weekend set with Towson, according to the non-conference schedule the university released Thursday.
The in-state series with Clemson is split across three sites this spring. Game one is in Clemson on Friday, March 5, the middle game moves to Fluor Field in Greenville on Saturday, March 6, and the finale comes back to Founders Park on Sunday, March 7. South Carolina also visits Fluor Field earlier, meeting USC Upstate there on Tuesday, Feb. 23.
Other early dates include a home series with UMass Lowell from Feb. 26 to 28 and a visit from Presbyterian on March 3. The last non-league weekend is March 12-14 against UC Riverside. Midweek opponents at home include Queens, Charlotte, Wofford, Davidson, The Citadel, Charleston Southern and Winthrop, and the Gamecocks also travel to The Citadel on March 10.
Two neutral or road dates stand out: North Carolina on Tuesday, March 23, at Truist Field in Charlotte, and Coastal Carolina in Conway on Wednesday, May 12.
Conference play, a 30-game schedule the SEC released in September, begins March 19-21 with Vanderbilt visiting Columbia. Missouri comes to Founders Park May 14-16 for the last home league series, and the regular season ends at Oklahoma May 20-22. The SEC Tournament follows at the Hoover Met in Hoover, Alabama, from May 25 to 30. Game times can still change once television plans are set early in 2027.
