California Polytechnic State University’s Cal Poly Mustangs baseball team, reigning back-to-back champions of the Big West Conference, announced their 2027 schedule on November 12, 2026. The Mustangs open the season with a three-game series on the road against Georgia Tech from February 19-21 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Following that, Cal Poly will play another three-game road series at USC from February 26-28. Their home opener at San Luis Obispo’s Baggett Stadium is scheduled for February 24 against Saint Mary’s. The home schedule includes series against notable teams such as San Diego State, Cal State Fullerton, and UC Irvine.
The 2027 schedule features 28 home games and 27 on the road, including 30 games against Big West Conference opponents and 25 non-conference contests. Cal Poly faces three new Big West members for the first time: California Baptist, Sacramento State, and Utah Valley. The team does not face Long Beach State during the regular season.
Head Coach Larry Lee, entering his 25th season, acknowledged the challenging start with road series against two nationally-ranked programs, noting the difficulty of playing teams with a combined 64-5 home record in 2026. He also cited the added complexity of facing three unfamiliar new conference opponents and their venues.
Returning 16 players from the 2026 team, including five position starters and eight pitchers, the Mustangs hope to build on their 39-24 overall record from the previous year. That season culminated in national rankings and the program’s first NCAA Super Regional appearance. Cal Poly aims for a third consecutive Big West title and another NCAA postseason berth in 2027.
