Bears Slated For 31 Home Games In Cal Softball Stadium
The California softball team announced its 52-game schedule for the 2027 campaign Monday, headlined by the grand opening of its brand-new stadium.
The Golden Bears, led by head coach Steve Singleton in his second season, will face 11 opponents that qualified for last year's NCAA Championship and seven that finished the season nationally ranked. Cal will compete in three tournaments to begin the 2027 campaign, including two at home in its new stadium.
The Bears will play 31 games at home this season, taking full advantage of their new home and giving fans plenty of chances to be part of the excitement all season long. The stadium will feature a 30,500-square-foot, two-story concrete structure behind home plate, featuring a bullpen, concourse, press box, and 1,511 permanent seats. The facility will also provide 8,500 square feet of enclosed spaces, including locker rooms, lounges, and a training room. Additional upgrades include a new LED outfield scoreboard, fine-grained infield aggregate, and synthetic outfield turf.
The Bears open the season Feb. 11-13 in Honolulu, Hawaii, before returning to Berkeley for their first true home game since 2025. Cal will debut the Cal Softball Stadium by hosting the California Classic Feb. 19-21, featuring Ohio State, Arkansas and UCLA. The tournament will also mark the beginning of a 19-game homestand for the Bears. Following the California Classic, Cal will host Arizona State on Feb. 24 before welcoming teams to the Golden Bear Invitational Feb. 25-28.
Cal opens its third season in the ACC at home against Syracuse March 5-7, kicking off a slate of eight conference series in 2027. The Bears will also host Notre Dame, Florida State and Clemson for home conference series. Cal's other four ACC series, against Boston College, Louisville, Stanford and Georgia Tech, will take place on the road.
The Bears' schedule also features series against Colorado State and Sacramento State, along with midweek contests against Bay Area opponents Saint Mary's, Pacific and Santa Clara.
The 2026 ACC Championship is scheduled for May 12-15 at Clemson.
