Florida has open practice from Tuesday through Thursday before a neutral-site battle with Troy on Saturday, Oct. 24.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Fall ball is officially in full swing for the Florida Gators, who continue their fourth week of team activity with three open practices before trekking to Pensacola, Fla. for a Saturday showdown against Troy.
Fresh off a victory over USF in Tampa, Fla., the Gators are set for their second exhibition game of the fall at Blue Wahoos Stadium, the home of Pensacola Blue Wahoos, Double-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins. First pitch between Florida and Troy is set for 2 p.m. ET on Saturday with tickets still available for purchase.
Following an off day on Monday, Florida practices at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The Gators then hit the road on Friday for an evening practice at Blue Wahoos Stadium prior to Saturday's matchup.
All fall practices and scrimmages are open to the public. Fans can access the concourse through Gate 3 of Condron Family Ballpark (located directly behind home plate).
Below is the full practice schedule for week four. All practice and approximate scrimmage times are subject to change.
*Scrimmages typically begin approximately 90 minutes to two hours into each practice
Additionally, Florida's fall season features three home exhibition games at Condron Family Ballpark in October and November.
Entering the 2027 season, the Gators have advanced to a nation-high, 18-consecutive NCAA Tournaments dating back to Head Coach Kevin O'Sullivan's debut campaign in 2008. Although Florida leads the country with nine trips to the College World Series in the last 17 years, the Orange & Blue is looking to return to Omaha for the first time since making back-to-back appearances from 2023-24.
