Vols Release 2020 Baseball Schedule
November 05, 2019 | Baseball
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee baseball, led by third-year head coach Tony Vitello, released its 2020 schedule on Tuesday.
UT is slated to play 37 games at Lindsey Nelson Stadium this season, providing Vol Nation plenty of opportunities to watch the team in person as it looks to build off its NCAA Tournament appearance last season.
The Vols will also play four neutral-site games, including one just up the road at Smokies Stadium in Kodak, Tenn., against UT Martin on March 24. The Big Orange will have 15 road games as well, all in Southeastern Conference play.
Tennessee is scheduled to play 20 games against teams that advanced to the NCAA Tournament last year, including 11 contests against opponents that made it to the Super Regionals and seven versus foes that made a trip to Omaha for the College World Series.
The complete schedule can be found HERE. Game times and television designations will be released at a later date. Season, group and single-game tickets will also go on sale in the near future and can be purchased by visiting AllVols.com.
