CHARLOTTE, N.C. — More than 90 Southeastern Conference baseball games have been slated to air across ESPN networks, including 75 on SEC Network. Coverage of the conference sport on national television has quadrupled since SEC Network launched last year.
The 2016 schedule steps up to bat with a four-hour Bases Loaded special on the opening night of conference play, Friday, March 18. The show features a live compilation of seven games – all 14 teams – taking place that evening across the southeast:
• Missouri at Florida (7 p.m.)
• Kentucky at Georgia (7 p.m.)
• Ole Miss at Tennessee (7 p.m.)
• Arkansas at South Carolina (7:30 p.m.)
• Texas A&M at Auburn (7:30 p.m.)
• Alabama at LSU (8 p.m.)
• Mississippi State at Vanderbilt (8 p.m.)
Every Bases Loaded game is also available in its entirety, streaming live via SEC Network +.
This year’s schedule also includes five wildcard selections, allowing the network the opportunity to determine the best television matchup at a later date. The schedule closes out with SEC Network airing the entirety of the SEC Baseball Tournament, outside of the Championship game on ESPN2.
