COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The Texas A&M Aggies were selected for 12 games as part of the 2018 SEC Baseball linear television package, the league announced on Monday.
The SEC Network, in its fourth year, is scheduled to air 76 baseball games in 2018, part of nearly 100 games planned across the ESPN family of networks (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU or SEC Network). Coverage of the conference sport on national television has quadrupled since SEC Network launched prior to the 2015 season.
The Maroon and White will have eight games aired on the SEC Network along with three games on ESPN2 and one on ESPNU.
Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park, the baseball gem of the Brazos Valley, will be the launching point for eight of the linear broadcasts. The Aggies will have their non-conference affair against Texas televised on April 10. Texas A&M will have two home SEC games each aired against Ole Miss (March 22-23), LSU (April 5-6) and Florida (May 5-6) as well as a Thursday night game against Alabama (April 12).
All Aggie home games not on the ESPN linear networks will be available on SEC Network + with Will Johnson and Mark Johnson on the call. SEC Network + is available through the WatchESPN app and SECNetwork.com. Fans must sign in with their credentials from a participating TV provider to access SEC Network +. The SEC Network + broadcasts at Blue Bell Park will be ESPN-quality with a full graphics package.
Texas A&M will have four road games televised on the linear networks, including all three games at Arkansas (May 11-13) and the Sunday game at Mississippi State (April 29).
This year's schedule also includes six wild card selections, allowing the network the opportunity to determine the best television matchup at a later date.
Â
The 2018 schedule steps up to bat with a four-hour Bases Loaded special on the opening night of conference play, Friday, March 16. The show will feature a live compilation of seven games – all 14 teams – taking place that evening.
SEC Network and ESPN2 will conclude the regular season with comprehensive coverage of the SEC Baseball Tournament, marking the fourth consecutive season the entire tournament has aired on national television.
