The University of Texas baseball team will host its Alumni Game and Fan Appreciation Day at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 31, at UFCU Disch-Falk Field presented by LHN. Admission to the annual event is free.
Come out and get your first glimpse of the 2026 Longhorns under head coach Jim Schlossnagle before they begin the regular season against UC Davis at UFCU Disch-Falk Field on Feb. 13. The reigning SEC Champions are ranked No. 3 in D1Baseball's preseason poll, which marks Texas' second-highest preseason ranking in the outlet's history.
The home plate gate will open at 10:15 a.m., and the team autograph session will run from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Team posters and UFCU pennants will be provided and are the only items permitted to be signed. Fans interested in autographs are encourage to arrive early, as autographs are not guaranteed and the line may be cut off prior to 11:30 a.m. to ensure the team is able to prepare for the Alumni Game.
In addition, Bevo XV and the 2025 SEC Championship Trophy will be available for photo opportunities and fans can play catch in left field until 11:15 a.m., at which point the field will begin clearing in preparation for batting practice.
Complimentary parking will be available in the East Campus Garage courtesy of Texas Athletics.
