College Baseball 2021 Opening Day Schedule (As of 2/15)

The college baseball season is officially set to start on February 19, 2021. While schedule modifications have become the norm in collegiate athletics due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many schools have begun to release schedules for the upcoming season.

Even as some schools are releasing their 2021 schedules, many conferences are dialing back their plans for the 2021 season. The Big Ten's cancelling of non-conference games is the most dramatic change that has been reported. Some reports suggest that the Big Ten might backtrack and allow some non-conference games, but nothing has been finalized either direction. It may be more difficult for the Big Ten to earn at-large NCAA Tournament bids without non-conference play.

Other conferences, like the SEC and Sun Belt, are pushing full-steam ahead with normal schedules. Likewise, it was decided this week that the Big 12 will move forward with a normal schedule. Many conferences are expected to make final decisions in the next week, and as conferences make their decisions, we are slowly getting clarity around what Opening Day will look like.

This week, we also discovered that many college baseball tournaments will proceed as planned. All six participants have confirmed for the State Farm College Baseball Showdown at the Texas Rangers' brand new Globe Life Field. Each of the six participating teams are ranked in the top 12 of College Baseball Nation's Preseason Top 50. The Shriners College Classic, Frisco Classic, and Round Rock Classic will also all take place in 2021.
