INDIANAPOLIS - Butler baseball has announced the 2026 Butler baseball schedule that will feature over 20 games at Bulldog Park on the campus of Butler University. Butler will also play a game at Victory Field this season, home of the Indianapolis Indians.
 
"We have put together a strong schedule that will really challenge our group this season," said Beemer. "Our nonconference slate will be a good litmus test for our club, as we face two teams in Miami Ohio, and Murray State that were in the NCAA Tournament last year. We will also face Wichita State, Ohio State, and Marshall in our nonconference slate. In conference action, we will see Creighton who made the NCAA Tournament last year, as well as solid clubs like UConn, Georgetown, and Xavier at home. We are excited for this year's schedule and look forward to having Bulldog fans back at the park this spring."
