The Central Arkansas Bears baseball team has announced its schedule for the 2026 season. The upcoming slate includes 55 games, with 27 of those taking place at The Bear stadium in Conway, Arkansas.
This season’s schedule features several notable non-conference games against teams such as Oklahoma State, Vanderbilt, and Arkansas. In addition to these matchups, the Bears will continue their in-state rivalries with games against the Little Rock Trojans, UAPB Golden Lions, and Arkansas State Red Wolves. The series against Little Rock will be part of the I-40 Showdown and is scheduled as a weekend series this year.
Head Coach Nick Harlan commented on the release of the schedule: “We are intentional about creating a schedule that challenges our team from start to finish,” Harlan said. “The number one objective is to play opponents that force our players to be at their very best mentally and physically. This ensures that we are focused on continuous improvement so that we reach our capability.”
Harlan also stated: “I am pleased with the completion of this schedule. Our conference is talented and well coached, and the non-conference schedule provides an opportunity for our team to play against regional qualifiers in great environments, as well as bring quality opponents to The Bear.”
The Bears’ season opener is set for February 13th at ULM. Details regarding game times and ticket information can be found on UCASports.com.
