The Gators will play two exhibition games in November. On Nov. 1, the night before the Florida-Georgia football game, the Gators will take on Jacksonville University in Jacksonville. The game will be held at 121 Financial Ballpark, the home of the Triple-A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. 

On Sunday, Nov. 10, the Gators will play at home against the USF Bulls. The time of that game is to be determined. 

The Florida Gators are coming off their second-straight appearance in the College World Series. While the Gators were a powerhouse team that fell one win short of taking home their second national championship in 2023, the 2024 appearance was more of a surprise run. 

The Gators went 28-26 in the regular season and were knocked out of the SEC Tournament in the first game. Yet, the Gators managed to upset ranked Oklahoma State and ranked Clemson to punch their ticket to Omaha. They fell just short of making it back to the CWS Finals.
