Arizona will open the 2021 baseball season on Feb. 19 vs. Ball State. A month later, the Wildcats dive into the deep end of the Pac-12 pool.
After a non-conference slate consisting of 12 home games and a trip to Frisco, Texas, for the Frisco College Baseball Classic, Arizona begins league play against the Pac-12’s top program.
The UA visits UCLA for a three-game series starting March 19, per the schedule released Friday. The Bruins are ranked second in the nation by Baseball America and D1Baseball.com. The Wildcats are ranked 15th and 22nd, respectively.
Arizona’s Pac-12 home opener is scheduled for March 26 against Oregon. The UA visits rival Arizona State for a three-game series April 1-3 before facing ASU in a non-conference game at Hi Corbett Field on April 6.
The Wildcats played 15 games last year before the coronavirus pandemic shut down the season. Arizona and its Pac-12 brethren are hopeful they can play a full 56-game season this year, although the pandemic hasn’t gone away and interruptions are expected.
It’s unclear whether fans will be allowed to attend games at any point this season. In an e-mail to season-ticket holders, the UA reiterated that the Pac-12 has prohibited attendance “until further notice.”
“We are continuing to work in unison with state, city and local county ordinances with the safety and well-being of our student-athletes, fans and staff as a top priority,” the e-mail states. “In the event we are approved to have fans at Hi Corbett Field during the spring 2021 season, we will operate on a single-game ticket model and offer limited single-game tickets to last year's season-ticket holders first.”
Attendance policies could change over the course of the season.
Home non-conference games will be live-streamed. The broadcast and live-stream schedules for league games are still being determined.
Games in the March 4-7 Frisco Classic will be streamed on FloSports.
All times are MST and are subject to change.
