TicketsCINCINNATI – The University of Cincinnati baseball team will take part in the 2027 Live Like Lou Jax College Baseball Classic next season in Jacksonville, Fla.
The Bearcats will be joined by Georgia Tech, Illinois, and Tennessee. The event will take place Feb. 26-28 at VyStar Ballpark in Jacksonville, the home ballpark of the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. The Jumbo Shrimp are the AAA affiliate of the Miami Marlins.
Cincinnati, Georgia Tech, and Tennessee all made the NCAA Tournament this past season. Georgia Tech was the No. 2 overall seed and lost in its regional final to the eventual National Champion Oklahoma Sooners.
Cincinnati has faced all three teams before, including a 2025 NCAA Tournament game against the Volunteers in Knoxville. The last meeting vs. Illinois came in head coach Jordan Bischel’s first season in 2024 at a neutral site. UC and Georgia Tech last met in 2020 in the Atlanta Challenge to open the season.
Fans can sign up now for pre-sale ticket access at the Jax Classic page at www.peak.events. Travel packages and broadcast details will be announced at a later date.
Cincinnati’s full 2027 schedule will be released later this fall.
