BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Southeastern Conference announced the 2027 league softball schedule on Wednesday, with Tennessee set to face eight league opponents during the regular season.

Coming off its 10th WCWS appearance, Tennessee will open SEC play on the road, traveling to Bryan-College Station for a three-game series against Texas A&M March 12-14.
Tennessee will make its SEC home debut the following weekend, welcoming two-time defending national champion Texas to Sherri Parker Lee Stadium for a March 19-21 series. The Big Orange will then hit the road for a matchup at LSU March 26-28.
