CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University fourth-year head baseball coach Roland Fanning finalized the Governors' 2026 schedule featuring five home Atlantic Sun Conference series at Joe Maynard Field at Raymond C. Hand Park, and four Southeastern Conference road contests.
The Governors' 2026 campaign begins in Las Vegas in a four-game weekend series at UNLV (Feb. 13), before returning home for a three-game set against Eastern Michigan (Feb. 20).
Following its first weekend series at home, the Govs hit the road to face their first of four SEC opponents this season, beginning with Mississippi State (Feb. 24). After its midweek, the team then heads to Cincinnati (Feb. 27) to face the Bearcats in a three-game weekend series.
After a short rest, the Govs go airborne as they head west to face Utah Tech (March 5) in a four-game series before returning home again, where they face Ohio (March 10) in a two-game midweek series.
The Atlantic Sun Conference is divided into two divisions, as it was in the 2025 season. APSU will only play conference members in the Gold Division during the regular season, which includes Bellarmine, Central Arkansas, Eastern Kentucky, Lipscomb, and North Alabama.

Then the Govs travel to Richmond, Kentucky, for another ASUN series at Eastern Kentucky (April 2). The road stretch concludes at Tennessee Tech (April 7) in a midweek contest.
The midway point in conference play picks up in Clarksville, as the Govs face North Alabama (April 10) in their fifth conference series. The Govs then welcome Tennessee Tech (April 14) in Clarksville in a midweek rematch. Following the Tuesday contest against the Golden Eagles, Bellarmine (April 17) travels to Stacheville to face the Govs in another ASUN weekend Series.
Following the seven-game homestand, APSU heads to Bowling Green, Kentucky, to take on Western Kentucky (April 22), before heading to Music City to face Lipscomb (April 24) in a weekend conference series.
The Govs welcome Western Kentucky (April 28) to Clarksville in a midweek matchup before facing Central Arkansas (May 1) to begin the month. The Govs then travel to Cape Girardeau, Missouri, to play Southeast Missouri (May 5) to round out nonconference action.
ASUN conference play finished with back-to-back conference series, beginning at home against Eastern Kentucky (May 8), and finishing in Florence, Alabama, at North Alabama (May 14).
The 2026 ASUN Championship (May 19-23) will be hosted by Stetson at Melching Field at Conrad Park in DeLand, Florida, where both divisions will meet to battle for the conference title.
