Florida Southern will open its 2027 baseball season with a 20-game homestand, part of a 50-game schedule featuring 32 games at Henley Field. The Mocs begin Jan. 29 against Alabama in Huntsville and close the regular season on the road in May, with NCAA postseason play scheduled to start May 20.

By the Numbers
  • 50 games scheduled, including 32 at home.
  • 20 consecutive home games to open the season.
  • 2026 record: 26-22 overall and 15-14 in the Sunshine State Conference.
Yes, But

The Mocs were ranked in the top 10 early in 2026 but narrowly missed an NCAA regional bid. Coach Rick O’Dette says the new schedule is designed to provide another test against high-level competition.

State of Play
  • Florida Southern’s first road game is March 9 at Flagler, which is set to join the Sunshine State Conference in 2027-28.
  • The schedule includes first-ever matchups with Northwest Nazarene and Edward Waters.
  • The regular season ends with road series at Lynn and Nova Southeastern.
What’s Next

The Mocs open at home against Alabama in Huntsville on Jan. 29 at 6 p.m. NCAA regionals are scheduled for May 20-23, with the Division II finals set for June 4-12 in Cary, North Carolina.

Bottom Line

Florida Southern’s schedule starts with a substantial home advantage, then ramps up with conference play and a demanding late-season road finish—an early test of whether the Mocs can turn last year’s near-miss into a postseason berth.
