CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – Virginia baseball has released its 2026 schedule bringing in Year 1 of the Chris Pollard era with 31 home games at Disharoon. The schedule includes home ACC series against Virginia Tech March 13-15, Wake Forest (whom the Hoos did not play in 2025) March 20-22, Florida State April 2-4, Clemson April 16-18, and Cal May 8-10.

The Hoos will open ACC play at North Carolina March 6-8, and play road series at Boston College March 27-29, Notre Dame April 10-12, Pitt April 24-26, and Louisville May 14-16.

Once again in 2026, the ACC will be a gauntlet. We are thrilled to be competing 31 times in front of the very best fans in college baseball,” Pollard said. “We look forward to seeing everyone at Disharoon Park this spring.”
