Bulldog baseball TV slate announced

ATHENS, Ga. – The 2018 television schedule for Georgia baseball has been finalized after the Southeastern Conference announced its schedule Monday.

Georgia will be featured nine times across the ESPNU/SEC networks as part of the 2018 SEC Baseball television package. Also, all 31 Georgia home games will be available to view on television or streamed online exclusively as SEC Network + events and available on the WatchESPN app, and on SECNetwork.com through participating providers. Also, a vast majority of Georgia’s road conference games will be available on SEC Network +.

The 2018 SEC baseball television schedule steps up to bat with the return of the Bases Loaded special on the opening night of conference play, Friday, March 16. The show features a live compilation of seven games – all 14 teams – taking place that evening across the southeast. Georgia faces Alabama in Tuscaloosa for its SEC opener at 7 p.m. ET.

The SEC Network will showcase 76 games. Also, SEC Thursday Night Baseball continues on ESPNU and the SEC Network. This year’s schedule features “Wildcard Weekend,” which will be May 17-19 as the two networks will select the most compelling SEC games to televise over the final weekend of conference action. The SEC Network will air the entire SEC Baseball Tournament, outside of the Championship game on ESPN2 on May 27. ESPN will cover up to 153 postseason games beginning with NCAA Regionals. ESPNU kicks off the slate with the NCAA Baseball Selection Show on Monday, May 28 at noon.
