ARLINGTON, Texas -Â UTA baseball head coach Darin Thomas has announced the 2020 baseball schedule, and the 54-game slate includes 28 home contests, 25 road games and a neutral site match-up against the Texas Longhorns at Dr. Pepper Ballpark in Frisco.Â
Â
The schedule also features 10 total games against five teams (Baylor (2), Coastal Carolina (3), Dallas Baptist (2), TCU (3), Texas A&M (1)) that participated in the 2019 NCAA postseason.
Â
"Once again we have a very challenging schedule that provides our club with numerous opportunities to get quality wins," said Thomas. "The Sun Belt Conference games will be tough to navigate through every weekend."
Â
The start to the 2020 slate will have UTA at home a lot, as the Mavericks will play 11 of the first 16 games of the season at Clay Gould Ballpark. The Mavs open the season at home with a three-game set with Texas A&M - Corpus Christi (Feb. 14-16).
UTA will then hit the road for four straight games. The Mavs will battle Dallas Baptist in a mid-week matchup on Tuesday, Feb. 18, before heading to Nacogdoches to play three games in the SFA Tournament (Feb. 21-23) against opponents that are TBA.
The Mavericks return home for eight of their next nine games. Another mid-week matchup with Dallas Baptist (Feb. 25) is on deck, before welcoming Utah to Clay Gould Ballpark (Feb. 28-Mar. 1). After a March 3 game at TCU, the Mavs host UTSA in a three-game set (March 6-8) and then host the Sooners of Oklahoma on March 10.

The Mavs hit the road for a mid-week non-conference contest with Sam Houston State (April 1) and a series with Louisiana (April 3-5), before heading to Fort Worth to battle TCU (April 7) to conclude the season series with the Horned Frogs.
Arkansas State comes to town for a trio of games (April 9-11) and Abilene Christian makes a stop in Arlington on April 14, before UTA hits the road for eight straight.
