MONROE, La. — The ULM softball team has revealed the 2027 schedule, as head coach Molly Fichtner returns for her ninth season leading the Warhawks as the reigning Sun Belt Regular Season Champions. ULM will compete at home with 30 home games, including two tournaments the team will be hosting in Monroe. 16 nonconference opponents will look familiar for the Warhawks, having faced them in 2026.
 
The season will open in Atlanta, Georgia, as ULM competes in a tournament hosted by Georgia Tech. On February 12, the season opener against familiar opponent Ole Miss will kick off the 2027 season. Host Georgia Tech will also face the Warhawks on February 12 before ULM sees George Washington, Buffalo and Georgia Tech again in the opening weekend. Stephen F. Austin will host the Warhawks on February 17 in the first midweek of 2027.
 
The first ULM-hosted tournament will run from February 19 to 21 in the Best on the Bayou Tournament. Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Maryland, Loyola-Chicago and Northwestern State will compete at the ULM Softball Complex. The Warhawks will then host McNeese in a midweek on February 24. The home stretch of 12 games extends to the following weekend, as the I-20 Invitational brings Jacksonville State, Ole Miss and Arkansas-Pine Bluff to Monroe in the second hosted tournament of the year from February 26 to 28. The homestand will conclude with a midweek against Central Arkansas on March 2.
 
The Warhawks will travel to College Station to face power teams in Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Indiana and Incarnate Word in the final tournament of the season from March 5 to 7. Central Arkansas will then host the Warhawks in Conway on March 9. On March 12, ULM will host Marshall for the first time since 2023, in a three-game nonconference series in the final nonconference weekend.
 
After a March 16 midweek against Alcorn in Monroe, Sun Belt competition will begin, with South Alabama hosting the Warhawks in Mobile from March 19 to 21. A road trip to face the Southeastern Louisiana Lions will come on March 23 before ULM hosts its first SBC competition in Georgia State from March 25 to 27. The month of March will conclude with a midweek trip to ETSU, facing the Bucs for the first time since 2016.
 
ULM will take on two Sun Belt East opponents entering April, traveling to App State first, then hosting James Madison the following weekend. On April 13, the Warhawks will then host local foe Grambling State for a midweek contest. The local foes continue on April 16, as ULM hosts Louisiana Tech in the Radiance Technologies I-20 Showdown for a three-game conference series. The Warhawks remain in Louisiana the following weekend, as the team travels to Lafayette to see the Ragin' Cajuns from April 23 to 25.
 
The final midweek game of the season will come on April 27, as the team hosts Stephen F. Austin. The final home series will come just after, as Troy comes to the ULM Softball Complex from April 30 to May 2. The regular season will conclude in Hattiesburg, as the team hits the road to take on Southern Miss from May 6 to 8.
