Demon Deacons Open Season in Puerto Rico, Host 30 Games at David F. Couch Ballpark.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – The Wake Forest baseball team announced its 2026 schedule, featuring 30 home games at David F. Couch Ballpark and marquee non-conference matchups alongside a challenging ACC slate.
Season tickets are the best way for fans to optimize the value of all of David F. Couch Ballpark's seating options and pricing. There are multiple exclusive benefits for those who purchase season tickets that include potential postseason priority.
The Demon Deacons open the new campaign with a three-game tournament in Puerto Rico before returning home for an extended early-season stretch in Winston-Salem.
"The 2026 schedule is packed with opportunities to test ourselves against some of the best teams in the country," said head coach Tom Walter. "We've got a veteran group coming back that knows what it takes to compete deep into the postseason. Opening in Puerto Rico will be an incredible experience, and we can't wait to bring that energy back home to The Couch. Our fans make this place special, and we're excited to chase another championship in front of them."
Wake Forest begins the season February 13-15 in Puerto Rico with contests against Houston, Washington, and Indiana State. The Deacs then return home for eight of the next nine games highlighted by a weekend series against Siena (Feb. 20-22) and a four-game weekend round-robin featuring Loyola Marymount and Davidson (Feb. 27–Mar. 1).
The Deacons will continue their non-conference slate with road trips to UNCG (Feb. 24), App State (Mar. 3), and Coastal Carolina (Mar. 10), while hosting High Point (Feb. 17) and Liberty (Mar. 17).
