SEC Baseball Schedule Format Change, How it Looks

SEC has officially announced the new scheduling format for baseball when Oklahoma and Texas will join the league.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama (March 14, 2023) - The Presidents and Chancellors of the Southeastern Conference approved future regular season schedule and post-season championship formats for seven Southeastern Conference sports during a meeting at the SEC Men's Basketball Tournament in Nashville last week. The future formats were approved in preparation for the addition of Oklahoma and Texas to the SEC beginning with the 2024-25 athletic year.

Regular season schedule formats were approved for baseball, gymnastics, and men's and women's swimming & diving.

Championship formats were approved for gymnastics, swimming & diving, indoor track & field, and the return of the SEC Volleyball Tournament which has not been held since the 2005 season.

SOURCES: Beginning in 2025 with the addition of Texas and OU, the @SEC will move to a regular season schedule that will include two series each year against permanent opponents and eight series against rotating opponents for 30 games. The #SEC also will go to a single division.

Regular season schedule and championship formats have previously been approved in men's basketball, women's basketball, soccer, men's and women's tennis and softball. The current regular season and championship formats in the sports of men's and women's cross country, equestrian, men's and women's golf and men's and women's outdoor track & field accommodate the addition of Oklahoma and Texas without additional adjustments.

Still to be determined are regular season formats in football and volleyball and the post-season tournament format in baseball.

Here's how it will look for baseball:

• Regular season: Each season a team will play a three-game series against two permanent opponents and eight rotating opponents, for a total of 30 conference games. Standings will be kept in a single-division format.

• SEC Baseball Tournament: Format to be determined.
