Defending Summit League tournament champion South Dakota State will be tested throughout the upcoming 2027 baseball season as the Jackrabbits announced their 51-game regular season schedule Tuesday.
"We are excited to release a challenging preseason schedule to help us prepare for what will be a highly competitive Summit League season," said Rob Bishop, who is entering his 11th season as the Jackrabbits' head coach. "This is the most difficult schedule we have played in my time at SDSU with eight games against Power-4 opponents on the road, in addition to playing series against several high-quality mid-major programs. Our players and coaches are looking forward to the challenge."
For the second season in a row, the Jackrabbits will start the season with a series in Texas, traveling to Stephen F. Austin for a three-game set Feb. 19-21.
From there, SDSU ventures north to face perennial NCAA contender Arkansas on Feb. 23, followed by a series Feb. 26-28 at Central Arkansas to close the opening month.
The remainder of SDSU's pre-conference schedule will be played on the Great Plains with three-game weekend series at Wichita State (March 5-7) and Kansas State (March 12-14), as well as single games March 16 at defending national champion Oklahoma and March 17 at fellow NCAA qualifier Oklahoma State.
Other nonconference games against regional opponents include matchups April 7 at Minnesota, April 20 at Creighton and April 21 at Nebraska. The meeting with the Cornhuskers will be a rematch from the opening round of the 2026 NCAA Tournament, which also was played in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Summit League play will again consist of a 30-game schedule with home-and-home series against the other five baseball-playing league members. The Jackrabbits open league play March 19-21 at Omaha, followed by a three-game series March 25-27 at Northern Colorado.
After playing their first 21 games on the road, SDSU's home opener has been set for March 31 with a mid-week game against Mayville State. The Jackrabbits then host a weekend series April 2-4 against Oral Roberts in the squads' first meeting since the title round of last season's Summit League Baseball Championship.
Other home series during Summit League action include April 16-18 versus North Dakota State, April 23-25 against Omaha, May 7-9 versus Northern Colorado and the regular season finale May 20-22 against St. Thomas.
In addition, the Jackrabbits are slated to host mid-week games against Midland (April 13) and Minnesota Morris (April 27).
The remainder of the league slate will be played on the road at St. Thomas (April 9-11), at Oral Roberts (April 30-May 2) and at North Dakota State May 14-16).
The top four teams in the league standings will advance to the Summit League Baseball Championship, which will be hosted by Oral Roberts in Tulsa, Oklahoma, May 26-29.
SDSU finished the 2026 season with a 24-33 overall record. The Jackrabbits went on claim the Summit League tournament title, advancing to NCAA postseason play for the second time in program history at the Division I level.
