NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- The Yale baseball team has announced its 2026 schedule featuring 20 home contests at George H.W. Bush '48 Field.

The Bulldogs enter the 2026 season with high hopes after capturing an Ivy League regular-season championship last year. Yale begins the season with three road trips around the country.

The Bulldogs kick off the 2026 campaign at the Andre Dawson HBCU Classic against Bethune-Cookman and Jackson State, beginning on Feb. 20. Yale will then travel to Malibu, Calif., for a series against Pepperdine from Feb. 27 to March 1. The Bulldogs will return home for a non-conference matchup against Manhattan before traveling to George Washington University for a three-game series from March 6-8. Yale will begin its Ivy League schedule at home against Brown on March 21.

"Our spring schedule is designed to challenge us — we've lined up strong opponents with diverse playing styles to ensure we are fully prepared for Ivy League play," said Brian Hamm, Fay Vincent '31 Head Coach of Baseball. "We are especially excited to compete in the Andre Dawson HBCU Classic and face some of the nation's premier HBCU programs. We'll make our annual trip to the West Coast, and playing at Pepperdine will be a highlight for our group."

"Last year, we were slow out of the gate in Ivy play, but we found our rhythm, won the regular-season championship, and hosted the Ivy League Tournament," Hamm said. "We've adjusted our preparation so we do not stumble early again. Our objective is clear: win the tournament and earn our way back into the NCAA Tournament."
