The LSU Tigers revealed their full schedule for the 2025 college baseball season. This includes both their non-conference and conference slate, as the entire SEC released their conference schedules. Here is a look at the non-conference opponents LSU will face in 2025.
The Tigers have two exhibition games against Samford and UL-Lafeyette in November during Fall Baseball practice times. The regular season starts on February 14, when the Tigers host Purdue-Fort Wayne at Alex Box Stadium. The following week, they have two mid-week matchups on back-to-back nights at home against Southern and Nicholls. They then end that week with a weekend series against Omaha.
The Tigers will face Lafayette and Nicholls again on March 25 and April 8 during mid-week matchups in SEC play.
The following slate of games are the first trips LSU takes out of Baton Rouge and will be their first true test. They have two invitationals in Texas to play from February 26 to March 2. The first is the College Baseball Series in Arlington, where they’ll face a great baseball program in Dallas Baptist. They will then travel to Frisco to play in the Frisco College Baseball Classic against Kansas State, Nebraska, and Sam Houston. This is the crucial stretch of games for LSU during the non-conference part of their schedule.
Following their road trips to neutral sites for some exhibition tournaments, the Tigers return to Baton Rouge for six more games before SEC play. It begins with a two-game mid-week series against North Dakota State on March 4 and 5 and then have a weekend series to end that week against North Alabama.
The following game against Xavier on March 11 is the final game of non-conference play. Afterward, the Tigers get into the thick of SEC play against the Missouri Tigers at home on March 14. LSU has mid-week games spread throughout conference play, including opponents like New Orleans, Grambling State, Southeastern Louisiana, Northwestern State, etc.
It is important for LSU to win as many of these games as possible to prepare themselves for the tough SEC games that would lie ahead afterward. It also gives a chance to get lots of players deep within the depth charts of the lineup and pitching staff reps during games with lesser implications.
