2026 Schedule

[ORob2]

Looks like we’ll be continuing our tradition of traveling to Fayetteville for a mid-week.

We get one game with the Hogs; Missouri State gets a home/home with Arkansas.

I hope we get a better chance at them in March.

Looks like we have Northern Colorado at home the weekend of March 20-22 since they are in Fayetteville during the mid-week before.

A few more teams have released their 2026 schedules and reported games with ORU, which provides the opportunity to piece together about 70% of the Golden Eagle non-conference schedule.  I would still expect weekend home series (likely against northern opponents) on 2/13-15 and 2/20-22 and a couple more mid-week games (3/24 and 5/12). 

NDSU is the only Summit school to release their schedule, and those dates are listed below.  

Notes: Interesting that ORU and Wichita State are not scheduled to play in 2026 for the first time in MANY years. It is disappointing to lose that regional rivalry. It appears that Wichita was pushing back from an annual home-and-home series, as the Shockers had not been to Tulsa since 2023, and that was on a two-for-one arrangement. The last two years, ORU played in Wichita but did not receive a home game in return. 

ORU gets the "pleasure" of playing in Fargo for the Bizon's home opener in late March. Expect some odd bounces off of the frozen tundra along with difficulty tracking fly balls in the snow. Seriously, there's at least a 50% chance that the series gets moved further south (Omaha?) or the league office wisely switches the March series to Tulsa and the April series to Fargo.

Northern Colorado is playing mid-week games in Fayetteville on 3/17 & 3/18, so I would expect to see the Bears in Tulsa for the 3/13 - 3/15 weekend series.

Also, South Dakota State is playing mid-week games at Stillwater on 3/17 & 3/18 as well, so I would expect to see the Jacks in Chapman Park for the 3/20-3/22 weekend series.

The DBU games are odd to me.  Air Force is in town at the same time.  Rather than our usual 3 game weekend series, the Patriots are playing ORU and Air Force every other day for four days.  Will we try to pick up a game with another area team on Friday?  TCU, UTA and Abilene Christian are booked.  Tarleton State hasn't announced their schedule so that could be a possibility for a Friday or Sunday game?  It is 1:40 drive to Tarleton from DBU and 5:30 drive back to 7777 S Lewis.
