BOCA RATON, Fla. – Florida Atlantic University athletics has released the 2020 schedule for FAU baseball, the defending Conference USA regular season champions. The Owls will begin the 2020 campaign on Valentine's Day, and there will be 32 opportunities to see the team at home in the upcoming season.

The slate begins Friday, Feb. 14, 2020, as FAU battles Delaware in the first of a three-game set. The Owls' first seven games are at FAU Baseball Stadium, and they will be the host for 14 of the season's first 17 games, and 18 of the first 24. After Delaware is a midweek game against Florida Gulf Coast (Feb. 18), followed by another three-game weekend series, taking on Binghamton for the first time in program history.

FAU's first foray on the road is three high-profile matchups in Tallahassee: a doubleheader on Feb. 28 versus Texas Tech – another first-time FAU opponent – and Florida State, with another tilt with the Seminoles scheduled for the following day.

"We are excited about this year's schedule," said head coach John McCormack, who will lead the Owls for the 12th season while marking his 30th year overall with the program. "We are looking forward to another rigorous conference schedule. In non-conference, we will play FSU, and Texas Tech, who both played in Omaha last year. We will also play in-state schools like UF, Miami, UCF, FGCU, and Bethune-Cookman. I think it is a very challenging schedule and we will have to be ready."

The Owls will be the home team for the next seven games, the first of which will take place at The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches in West Palm Beach, hosting Florida on March 3. The next day, at FAU Baseball Stadium, the Owls take on Miami in the first of the annual three-game series between the two programs (the other two matchups taking place in Coral Gables on March 24 and April 15). This particular homestand concludes with a weekend set against Northeastern and back-to-back midweek games versus Penn.

FAU's defense of their 2019 C-USA crown begins on the road, March 13-15 in Norfolk, Virginia, at Old Dominion. A home game versus Marist is next, and the home C-USA slate for the Owls starts against UAB, the weekend of March 20.

Other road series in league play come at Louisiana Tech (to be played in Monroe, Louisiana, at ULM), Middle Tennessee, FIU and Rice. The Owls' home C-USA opponents after UAB are Southern Miss, WKU, UTSA and Senior Weekend versus Charlotte to wrap the regular season, May 14-16.

The non-conference portion of the schedule includes, in addition to Miami, home-and-home splits with FGCU and UCF, while the Owls will host fellow in-state Bethune-Cookman.

After the Charlotte series, the postseason dates are as follows: the 2020 Conference USA Championship, to be held once again in Biloxi, Mississippi, from May 20 through May 24; NCAA Regionals are scheduled for the last weekend in May (and through June 1); NCAA Super Regionals, beginning June 5; and the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, starting June 12.

The Owls, having just completed the fall preseason, will return together as a group in early January, with the first day of official practice scheduled for Friday, Jan. 24.
