LONGVIEW, Texas -- The LeTourneau baseball team has prepared a challenging slate for the upcoming 2026 campaign.

LeTourneau is set to face five NCAA tournament teams from a year ago, including a pair of reigning conference champions. LeTourneau will also fly out to Oregon for the first time in 12 years for a four-game series against Linfield.

LeTourneau returns for a home series on Feb. 20-21 for a three-game series against a 2025 NCAA Super Regional qualifier, the McMurry War Hawks. The YellowJackets follow this series with a midweek game in Marshall, Texas, on Feb. 24 versus old rival and reigning ASC champion, East Texas Baptist.

A seven-game home stretch follows for LeTourneau, as the YellowJackets take on Texas Lutheran on Feb. 27-28, before facing 2025 NCAA Tournament teams Belhaven (March 3) and Concordia Texas (March 6-7). 

The YellowJackets then hit the road for back-to-back SCAC matchups and a three-game series against both Centenary (March 13-14) and Ozarks (March 20-21). 

The ETBU Tigers complete their end of the home-away, traveling to the Vern on March 24 for the YellowJackets' final midweek matchup of the year.

LeTourneau flies out to McMinnville, Ore., for its final non-conference series of the season. The YellowJackets face Linfield for a four-game series on March 27-29.
