FRANKFORT, Ky. - Kentucky State softball and head coach David Morton Jr. have announced the full schedule for the upcoming 2026 season.  

The Thorobreds open the campaign Jan. 31–Feb. 1 in Jackson City, Tennessee, with back-to-back doubleheaders against regional opponents Carson-Newman and Concord. Kentucky State then remains on the road for six games at the HBCU Round Robin in Covington, Georgia, Feb. 12–15. 

The home slate begins Feb. 25 when the Thorobreds welcome Asbury for a nonconference doubleheader at State Stadium. SIAC play launches the following weekend as Kentucky State hosts LeMoyne-Owen for a three-game series Feb. 28–29. 

The month of March features a mix of home and road competition, starting with a nonconference doubleheader against Kentucky Wesleyan on March 7. The Thorobreds then travel to Birmingham, Alabama, March 10–12 for the SIAC Crossover, facing Clark Atlanta, Edward Waters, Fort Valley State, Savannah State, Allen, Benedict and Albany State in a key conference event. 

Kentucky State resumes SIAC action with consecutive road series at Lane (March 19–20) and Miles (March 26–27), before returning to Frankfort to host Tuskegee for a three-game set April 11–12. 

The final weeks of the regular season include home-and-home nonconference doubleheaders against Asbury (April 22 in Frankfort, April 24 in Wilmore) and Georgetown College (March 24 in Georgetown, April 22 in Frankfort), providing valuable tune-ups ahead of postseason play. 

The regular season concludes with a neutral-site three-game series against Spring Hill College April 18–19. Kentucky State will then turn its attention to the 2026 SIAC Softball Tournament, scheduled for April 27–29 at a site to be announced.
