CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State baseball has been a mainstay at Surprise Stadium in Arizona since 2014. That continues in 2026.

Oregon State baseball’s 2026 season-opening tournament was announced Monday in coordination with REV Entertainment, which is partnering with the Spring Training home of the Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers to organize the event.

The Beavers’ 2026 season officially gets underway Feb. 13 and will take place over four days in Surprise. Oregon State will take on Arizona, Stanford and Michigan over the first three days. A second meeting with the Wolverines will take place on Monday, Feb. 16 in a game that is not officially a part of the tournament.

Matchups and game times will be announced at a later date.
