Arizona’s final baseball season as a member of the Pac-12 Conference will begin at home in mid-February and end at Hi Corbett Field in mid-May.
The Wildcats, coming off three straight appearances in the NCAA Tournament, face nine teams that made the tournament last year. The UA has only 26 home games on the 2024 regular-season schedule, down from 32 last season. Arizona is slated to play 54 games in all ahead of the May 21-25 Pac-12 Tournament in Scottsdale.
Arizona opens the season with a three-game series against Northeastern from Feb. 16-18. After a midweek home game against Utah Tech on Feb. 20, the Wildcats will be on the road for three consecutive weekends – at San Diego (Feb. 23-25), at the Frisco College Baseball Classic (March 1-3) and at USC (March 8-10) for the conference-opening series.
Arizona’s first Pac-12 home series will be against rival Arizona State from March 15-17. The UA also hosts UCLA (March 28-30), Washington State (April 19-21), Stanford (May 3-5) and Oregon State (May 16-18) in this cycle.
Midweek games include nonconference contests at TCU (Feb. 28), Loyola Marymount (March 12), Stanford (April 8), Grand Canyon (April 16), New Mexico State (April 24) and ASU (May 7). Arizona will host Louisiana Tech from April 12-14 for a three-game series during its Pac-12 bye week.
The UA will have a different-looking schedule starting in 2025 after the university officially joins the Big 12 Conference next summer.
Arizona finished 33-26 in its second season under Chip Hale, going 23-8 at home, 4-14 in away games and 6-4 in neutral-site games.
