Alabama baseball will begin its first Southeastern Conference series of the spring on March 20, hosting No. 18 Florida at Sewell-Thomas Stadium in Tuscaloosa.

The Crimson Tide is seeking its first series win over the Gators since 2008. The three-game matchup marks an important early test for Alabama as it enters league play this season.

The series opens Friday at 6 p.m. Central Time and continues Saturday at 2 p.m., with both games available on SEC Network+. The finale is scheduled for Sunday at noon and will be broadcast on SEC Network. The probable pitching rotation for Alabama features right-hander Tyler Fay starting Friday, left-hander Zane Adams on Saturday, and right-hander Myles Upchurch closing out the series Sunday. Florida is expected to start right-handers Liam Peterson, Aidan King, and Cooper Walls across the three games.

Fans can follow live stats and audio through The Varsity Network, while video coverage will be provided by SEC Network platforms throughout the weekend.

This home series provides Alabama with an opportunity to make a statement in conference play and potentially break a long-standing streak against a ranked opponent.
