As the 2026 regular season comes to a close, LSU baseball is set for a pivotal home stand against the No. 10 Florida Gators at Alex Box Stadium. The Tigers (29-24, 9-18 SEC) are looking to finish strong after a season full of ups and downs, while the Gators (34-18, 15-12) arrive in Baton Rouge with postseason positioning on the line.
This three-game SEC series kicks off Thursday evening and runs through Saturday afternoon, offering one last chance for both teams to build momentum before the conference tournament. For LSU, the path to the NCAA Tournament is narrow—only a deep run in the SEC Tournament can secure an automatic bid. Coach Jay Johnson and his staff are focused on getting the team ready for that challenge.
Meanwhile, Florida has already locked up a spot as a regional host, but they're not done yet. Coach Kevin O'Sullivan's squad still has a shot at a top-8 national seed, meaning they'll be playing with plenty of intensity this weekend.
Unfortunately, fans won't find this series on traditional TV. All three games will be available exclusively through streaming on SEC Network+, accessible via the ESPN app. Here's the full schedule:
Game 1: Thursday, May 14 at 6:30 p.m. CT
Game 2: Friday, May 15 at 6:30 p.m. CT
Game 3: Saturday, May 16 at 2 p.m. CT
On the mound, Saturday's matchup features LSU's RHP Marcos Paz (1-2, 8.28 ERA) against Florida's RHP Liam Peterson (1-5, 4.28 ERA). Sunday's game will see RHP Zac Cowan (3-3, 4.97 ERA) square off with RHP Russell Sandefer (3-2, 4.30 ERA).
Whether you're tuning in to cheer on the Tigers or just love the intensity of SEC baseball, this weekend is a must-watch for any college baseball fan. Grab your favorite LSU gear, settle in, and get ready for some late-May drama at The Box.
