Texas Tech softball’s 2027 Big 12 conference schedule is set - Red Raiders Wire
Texas Tech softball's 2027 Big 12 conference schedule is out, with the Red Raiders set to open conference play March 11 and close the regular season May 9. The Big 12 released the full slate this week, and the Red Raiders enter the year carrying real weight on their shoulders.
The Big 12 released the full slate this week, and the Red Raiders enter the year carrying real weight on their shoulders. Head coach Gerry Glasco's program claimed the 2025 Big 12 Tournament title and the 2026 regular-season championship, making Tech one of the most decorated programs in the conference heading into the new cycle. Each team faces eight league opponents across nine weeks, with series typically running Friday through Sunday.
The postseason destination is already locked in. The top eight teams advance to the Big 12 Softball Tournament presented by Allstate on May 13-15 at Devon Park in Oklahoma City. For Lubbock fans who've watched this program grow into a legitimate national contender under Glasco, that bracket push is now the expectation, not the surprise.
Defending two titles in the same offseason is a different kind of pressure than building toward one. The schedule gives Red Raider faithful nearly two months of conference softball to circle on the calendar.
Texas Tech is the reigning regular-season champion trying to prove that 2026 was not a peak, but a floor.
