Schedules announced for Texas Tech softball, baseball 2027 seasons - Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

The Big 12 released the conference schedule Thursday, laying out what the Red Raiders will face in a season that comes with high expectations baked in. Tech is riding back-to-back Women's College World Series appearances, both ending in the championship series against Texas. Two straight shots at a national title, two straight losses to the same program from Austin.

The Red Raiders will alternate home and road series through the first four weeks of league play before hitting their open date, giving fans on the South Plains a steady diet of home games early in the schedule. Closing conference play at Tracy Sellers Field means Tech controls its own atmosphere when the stakes are highest.

The back-to-back WCWS runs have turned softball into one of the hottest tickets in Lubbock, and a schedule anchored at home to start and finish league play only adds to the anticipation. The baseball schedule for 2027 was also announced Thursday, though specific details on opponents and dates were not released alongside the softball information.

No program in the country has lost the national championship game to the same opponent twice in a row and walked back onto the field with more to prove.
