Iowa head coach Rick Heller officially released the Hawkeyes’ complete 56-game regular-season schedule for 2027 on Monday, setting the stage for a campaign that begins in just three months. The season kicks off at the Sun Coast Classic in North Port, Florida, from Feb. 19-21, where Iowa will square off against Air Force, Marshall, and Western Michigan. Following this initial tune-up, the Hawkeyes will host their home opener at Duane Banks Field on Feb. 23 against Nebraska-Omaha, marking the start of a slate that includes 25 home games in total.
Rick Heller’s Hawkeyes target early-season dominance with marquee non-conference slate
The early-season schedule features three high-profile invitational events designed to test the team against elite competition. After Florida, Iowa travels to Dallas, Texas, for the Amegy Bank College Baseball Series from Feb. 26-28, facing powerhouse programs Oklahoma State, Baylor, and Arkansas. The Hawkeyes will then conclude their non-conference run at the Live Like Lou Las Vegas College Baseball Classic from March 5-7, challenging Arizona State, Oregon State, and LSU. This rigorous start aims to establish momentum before the Big Ten season begins.
Iowa opens Big Ten play on the road at UCLA on March 12, but the schedule also highlights unique venue opportunities for fans. The Hawkeyes will return to the iconic Field of Dreams movie site in Dyersville to host St. Thomas on May 4. Additionally, Iowa will travel to Principal Park in Des Moines for a three-game series against Rutgers from May 14-16, providing a distinct mid-season showcase before the conference concludes.
