Longhorns set to make 12th appearance in event at Daikin Park
AUSTIN, Texas — The University of Texas baseball team will be one of six programs participating in the 26th annual Astros Foundation College Classic at Daikin Park from Feb. 27-March 1.
Across the three-day, nine-game tournament, the reigning Southeastern Conference champion Longhorns are scheduled to face national runner-up Coastal Carolina, longtime league rival Baylor and Big Ten power Ohio State. Meanwhile, UTSA and Ole Miss round out the event's field.
In its first-ever head-to-head meeting, Texas opens play against the Chanticleers at 7:05 p.m. on Feb. 27.
The Longhorns continue action versus the Bears at 7:05 p.m. on Feb. 28. 2025 marked the first full season that Texas and Baylor didn't square off since the conclusion of World War II. The Longhorns boast a 257-114-4 lead over the Bears, dating back to the first contest in 1903.
Texas concludes the tournament weekend against the Buckeyes at 2:05 p.m. on March 1. The Longhorns are 9-1 in the all-time series, with the last meeting coming in 2004.
The Longhorns return to the Astros Foundation College Classic for the 12th time, including their second trip in three years. Texas is 16-17 in its previous 11 appearances in the event.
Single day tickets and three-day tournament packages will go on sale at a later date.
