HARRISONBURG, Va. – Looking to build off of a run to the finals of the Raleigh Regional a season ago, Head Coach Marlin Ikenberry has announced the 2025 schedule for James Madison baseball on Friday morning.
"The combination of non-conference and conference games for this schedule mimics last year's that had the fifth strongest non-conference schedule and 37th overall," said Ikenberry. "This is a challenging schedule that will prepare us for Sun Belt play and allow us to compete against some of the best programs in the country."
The Dukes will face five teams that appeared in last year's NCAA Baseball Championship, including two regional hosts, as they begin the season on Feb. 14-16 at Men's College World Series semifinalist Florida State. JMU then enjoys an eight-game homestand following the trip to the Sunshine State, welcoming Radford for its home opener on Feb. 18. Weekend series against Canisius (Feb. 21-23) and Fairfield (Feb. 28-March 2) sandwich a midweek game against Virginia Tech (Feb. 25) to round out the stretch.
JMU will return the trip to Virginia Tech and Radford respectively on April 29 and May 6 and will also play home-and-home's with Maryland (H: March 5; A: May 7) and George Mason (H: April 1; Away: April 15). A pair of one-off midweeks will also be featured on the slate, as the Dukes will host Richmond on March 25 before traveling to both Longwood on April 8 and Virginia on April 23.
The final weekend series for the Dukes in non-conference action will take place in the Queen City, taking on Charlotte on March 7-9 before opening up Sun Belt Conference play the following weekend by hosting ULM at Veterans Memorial Park March 14-16. Four more Sun Belt teams will come to Harrisonburg, as the Dukes will host Georgia State (April 4-6), Troy (April 11-13), Coastal Carolina (April 25-27) and Old Dominion (May 9-11).
Following the ULM series, the Dukes will take a six-day trip through the Mountain State as it will take on West Virginia on March 18-19 before a three-game set at Marshall March 21-23. JMU will go on the road four additional times in league action, traveling to Louisiana (March 28-30), App State (April 17-19) and Georgia Southern (May 2-4) before closing out the regular season at Texas State (May 16-17.
At the conclusion of the regular season, the top 10 teams in the conference will converge upon Montgomery, Ala. on May 20-25 for the 2025 Guardian Credit Union Sun Belt Conference Baseball Championship presented by Troy University.
