TROY, Ala. — Troy baseball officially unveiled its 2027 season schedule on Thursday, Nov. 5. The slate features 58 regular-season games, highlighted by 10 Sun Belt Conference series and 15 opponents ranked inside the top 100 of the NCAA's final RPI last season.
The Trojans reached new heights in the 2026 season, finishing 39-32 overall with a 17-13 mark in Sun Belt play . Earning the No. 3 seed in the Gainesville Regional, the Cardinal and White rattled off four straight wins to advance to a Super Regional hosted at Riddle-Pace Field . Troy then dominated Little Rock in the 'Trojan War' to punch its first-ever ticket to the College World Series in Omaha . Though their run ultimately ended against West Virginia, the Trojans captured their first CWS victory by defeating Ole Miss on baseball's biggest stage.
Head Coach Skylar Meade and his staff retained several key pieces from their historic 2026 run, anchored by reigning Sun Belt Male Athlete of the Year and top MLB draft prospect Jimmy Janicki (ranked No. 5 overall by D1Baseball) . Joining him in returning to Troy are power-hitter Jabe Boroff, outfielder Houston Markham, and southpaw Hayden Smith . The Trojans also reloaded through the transfer portal and high school ranks, securing a second consecutive top 25 recruiting class with 13 portal commitments and five incoming first-year players.
"The 2027 slate has the potential to be like 2026, and many previous seasons — incredibly tough," Meade said. "However, it is important that we continue to supplement our Sun Belt challenges with plenty of tough atmospheres, opponents, and opportunities along the journey. Thankfully for Trojan fans, we return to opening the season at RPF this year after a one-year hiatus. We can't wait to shatter ticket sales, tails in seats, and have Doubles Alley rocking every chance we get to play at home."
Troy's schedule features seven teams that reached the 2026 NCAA Tournament, highlighted by a pair of matchups against fellow College World Series participant Alabama . The two programs split their two regular-season meetings last year.
The non-conference slate begins at home with five straight games, starting with Mercer (Feb. 19–21) before midweek tilts against West Florida (Feb. 23) and The Citadel (Feb. 24) . Non-conference series play features home sets against Mercer and Memphis (March 12–14) along with road trips to Campbell (Feb. 26–28) and Southern Illinois (March 5–7) . Highlighting Troy's nine midweek road games are SEC stops at Mississippi State (March 2), Vanderbilt (March 10), and Alabama (April 6) . The Trojans also host three in-state midweek games against Alabama State (March 23), UAB (March 30), and Alabama (May 11).
Troy's Sun Belt schedule features five home series, kicking off against JMU (March 19–21), followed by hosting ULM (April 9–11), Southern Miss (April 23–25), Georgia Southern (April 30 – May 2), and Louisiana Tech (May 14–16) . On the road, the Trojans hit the road for conference matchups at App State (March 25–27), Louisiana (April 2–4), Arkansas State (April 16–18), and South Alabama (May 7–9), before wrapping up the regular season at Georgia State (May 20–22).
The Sun Belt Conference Championship returns to Riverwalk Stadium in Montgomery, Ala., for the seventh consecutive year and the 12th time in league history . Last season, the conference sent five teams to the NCAA Tournament — trailing only the SEC (12), ACC (9), and Big 12 (6).
