Kentucky baseball releases 2025 schedule following College World Series run

If you’re like me, you’re counting down the days to get back inside Kentucky Proud Park and see the Bat Cats coming off their magical run to the College World Series. Now you know exactly when you’ll be able to as Kentucky has released its complete 2025 schedule ahead of the team’s push for a third consecutive NCAA Tournament birth.

What does the 53-game slate look like? And more importantly, when will the Bat Cats be in Lexington? Let’s take a closer look at the matchups.

Kentucky will open the season with back-to-back weekend trips to Nashville in February, the first against Lipscomb and the second against Belmont with a one-game return to Lexington splitting the two series for the home opener vs. Morehead State on Feb. 18. From there, a home matchup vs. Evansville on Feb. 25, followed by a three-game series vs. Hofstra at KPP.

As March rolls along we’ve got a home-and-home with Eastern Kentucky, starting in Richmond on the 4th and returning to Lexington on the 5th. Then Wofford comes to town for a three-game series at KPP from March 7-9.

Then comes SEC play, starting with a three-game series at Georgia, followed by another three-game series vs. Auburn in Lexington — plus a single matchup vs. Murray State at KPP on March 18, then another vs. Xavier on March 25. The Bat Cats then head to College Station for a three-game series to close out March before hosting Ole Miss for a series to open April.

Up next? On the road at Louisville on April 8, followed by a series vs. Texas in the Longhorns’ SEC debut season. They’ll take on Miami (OH) in Lexington on April. 15 before a three-game trip to Knoxville to take on Tennessee from April 18-20. From there, the return trip for Louisville in Lexington on April 22 with a home series vs. South Carolina from April 25-27 to follow, plus a quick trip to Bowling Green to take on WKU to wrap up April.

How about the final month of regular season action? May closes out strong with a series at Mississippi State (May 2-4), vs. Oklahoma (May 9-11) and at Vanderbilt (May 15-17) with a mid-week home battle vs. NKU on May 13 in between to wrap up the last week before postseason play.
