GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The Gators’ pursuit of a third-straight College World Series appearance officially begins at home on Friday, Feb. 14 vs. Air Force, as Head Coach Kevin O’Sullivan unveiled the schedule for the 111th season of Florida baseball on Thursday afternoon in accordance with the Southeastern Conference.

In addition to the announcement of the 2025 schedule, Florida also revealed plans to continue its annual October baseball tradition against the University of Jacksonville at 121 Financial Ballpark the night before the Florida-Georgia football game on Friday, Nov. 1. Tickets for the event will go on sale the morning of Monday, Sept. 16. Additional details on the newly-minted Florida-Jacksonville baseball exhibition will be provided at a later date.

“The annual October baseball tradition in Jacksonville provides a unique and exciting experience for our players, coaches and fans, and we are thrilled to be continuing the matchup,” Coach O’Sullivan said. “We look forward to competing against JU in front of a packed crowd this fall, and thank the City of Jacksonville for their commitment to the exhibition, and college baseball as a whole.”

Florida’s 2025 schedule is comprised of 56 games highlighted by 36 home matchups at the award-winning Condron Family Ballpark, including 16 of the first 18 contests of the campaign. The Gators play 30 total games against 14 different NCAA Tournament teams from last season spanning across the SEC, ACC, Big 12 and Atlantic Sun Conference. Of Florida’s 10 SEC series, eight are against reigning postseason squads (featuring four of five at home).

Florida opens the season at home on Friday, Feb. 14 against Air Force, hosting the Falcons for a three-game series (Feb. 14-16) for the first time in program history. All of the Gators’ non-conference series will take place at home, followed by another debut opponent in Dayton (Feb. 21-23) and the return of in-state rival Miami (Feb. 28-March 1) for the third weekend of the season. The final non-conference weekend will see Harvard (March 7-9) of the Ivy League make its first trip to Gainesville since 2016.

The first pitch of the Gators’ SEC slate occurs in Knoxville against Tennessee from March 14-16. Florida returns home the following weekend to host Georgia (March 21-23), beginning an exciting conference rundown for Gator Nation that entails visits from Vanderbilt (April 4-6), Missouri (April 11-13), Arkansas (April 25-27) and Alabama (May 15-17).
