ARLINGTON, Texas – Baylor baseball will take part in the 2024 Shriners Children’s College Baseball Showdown at Globe Life Field in Arlington, it was announced Wednesday by REV Entertainment in conjunction with the Texas Rangers.

BU joins a field that includes Nebraska, Oregon, Tennessee and fellow Big 12 members Oklahoma and Texas Tech to participate in next season’s opening-weekend tournament on February 16-18, 2024, at the home of the Texas Rangers.

“We are extremely excited to participate in the 2024 Shriners Children’s College Showdown at Globe Life Field in Arlington,” said head coach Mitch Thompson. “What a memorable experience it will be for our players to compete at a big-league ballpark against a great field of opponents. We look forward to playing in an elite environment at the home of the Texas Rangers.”

The 2024 tournament marks the fourth year of the College Baseball Showdown at Globe Life Field. The three-day event includes four teams who have previously played games at GLF in Baylor, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas Tech. Oregon and Tennessee will be making their Globe Life Field debuts during the 2024 Showdown.

Baylor will compete in the Arlington Showdown for the first time in program history, though the Bears have gone 21-18 at the Shriners College Classic, previously held at Minute Maid Park in Houston. BU is 37-30-1 all-time against Nebraska, 1-1 all-time against Tennessee and has never played Oregon.

All games of the 2024 Shriners Children’s College Showdown will be streamed live by FloSports, the exclusive broadcast partner for the tournament. Tickets will go on sale later this year with full details, including the game schedule, still to be announced. For more information, fans can visit ShrinersShowdown.com.
