Florida Softball’s 2027 SEC Schedule Set With Texas, Oklahoma, LSU Among Marquee Matchups

Gators Will Host Texas A&M, LSU, Kentucky and Ole Miss While Facing Defending NCAA Champion Texas and SEC Champion Oklahoma on the Road

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. | Florida softball’s road through the Southeastern Conference in 2027 is officially set, and the Gators will face a demanding slate featuring some of the biggest programs in college softball.

The SEC announced its 2027 conference schedule Wednesday, giving Florida eight three-game league series — four at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium in Gainesville and four on the road.

Among the biggest tests awaiting the Gators are road trips to face two-time defending NCAA champion Texas and back-to-back SEC champion Oklahoma, along with home series against Texas A&M and longtime conference rival LSU.

Florida Opens SEC Play at Texas

Florida begins conference competition March 12-14 with a marquee road series against Texas in Austin.

The matchup immediately puts the Gators against the two-time defending NCAA champions and gives Florida an early opportunity to establish itself in what figures to again be one of the nation's most competitive softball conferences.

After an open weekend in SEC play, Florida returns home March 26-28 to host Texas A&M in its first conference series at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium.

The Gators remain home the following weekend for another high-profile matchup when LSU visits Gainesville from April 2-4.


Gators Face Oklahoma on the Road

Florida's schedule doesn't get any easier in April.

The Gators travel to Norman to face Oklahoma from April 9-11. The Sooners enter the 2027 season as back-to-back SEC champions and remain one of college softball's premier programs.

Florida then returns to Gainesville to host Kentucky from April 16-18 before heading to Tuscaloosa for a three-game series against Alabama from April 23-25.

The matchup with the Crimson Tide adds another traditional SEC rivalry to a difficult second half of the conference schedule.

Florida's final SEC road trip sends the Gators to Columbia, Missouri, where they will face Missouri from April 30 through May 2.

Ole Miss Comes to Gainesville for Regular-Season Finale

Florida will close the regular season at home against Ole Miss from May 6-8.

That series could carry significant postseason implications, with SEC Tournament seeding potentially hanging in the balance during the final weekend of conference play.

The SEC Tournament follows May 11-15 at Toyota Field in Madison, Alabama.

Game times and television designations for Florida's conference schedule will be announced later.
