This will mark the third consecutive college baseball weekend hosted at the venue early next year, with all three weekends benefiting Shriners Children’s.
“We can’t wait to welcome six more elite programs to Globe Life Field to close out our 2026 college baseball slate as part of the Amegy Bank College Baseball Series,” said Jared Schrom, Senior Vice President of REV Entertainment. “Next year’s field will be one of the best that we have ever hosted, and college baseball fans are in for a treat as the nation’s top programs visit Arlington.”
Matchups and game times will be announced at a later date. UCLA and Virginia Tech will make their first-ever appearance at Globe Life Field, while the other four programs have previously competed at the venue. UCLA (#14) and Tennessee (#17) are featured in D1Baseball’s latest top 25 rankings.
“Amegy Bank is honored to sponsor the 2026 College Baseball Series for the second consecutive year,” said Carlos Munguia, DFW Region President and CEO of Amegy Bank. “The event not only highlights some of the nation’s top collegiate baseball programs, but also brings together passionate fans and supports a meaningful cause through Shriners Children’s. We’re proud to be part of a team that celebrates athletic excellence and community impact.”
