SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Wofford College softball head coach Chelsea Butler announced the 2026 schedule on Monday morning. The 51-game slate is highlighted by 31 games at Hope Field, including three tournaments at home to start the season. The Terriers will open the year with 10-straight home games.
 
Wofford will face off with seven teams that were in the NCAA Tournament a year ago. The Terriers will host Robert Morris and USC Upstate, who are both defending champions of their respective conferences. Wofford will take on Mississippi State and Clemson in the Tiger Invitational, and the team will play Elon and UNC on back-to-back days at the end of March. Mercer, who is the defending Southern Conference champion, will be the final NCAA Tournament opponent.
 
"We are looking forward to competing this spring," said head coach Chelsea Butler. "The goal every year is to continue to elevate our program and that includes piecing together a challenging and competitive schedule. We have the opportunity to welcome a ton of quality opponents to Hope Field this spring, as well as play in some challenging environments on the road. The Southern Conference is a strong softball conference, and we will have the chance to compete week in and week out during SoCon play. Team Three is looking forward to building upon past successes and taking our softball program to new heights!"
