Elon, N.C.- Elon University baseball and head coach Mike Kennedy announced their upcoming 2025 season schedule, Monday Dec. 9. The Phoenix will face a grueling schedule, hosting the likes of North Carolina, Wake Forest and East Carolina at Latham Park this Spring.
 
The Phoenix is slated to play 56 games during the regular season with 33 of those contests being held in the friendly confines of Walter C. Latham Park. The Phoenix will spend the entire month of March in the Carolinas with their CAA slate set to begin on March 21. Elon will play six games against the Power Four conferences with two of those games being played inside Latham Park where the Phoenix have won three straight games against top 10 opponents.
 
"The 2025 schedule will be a challenging one, to say the least," said head coach Mike Kennedy. "Right out of the gate, we face what might be the best team in the country in SEC power Texas A&M. We will be challenged by some really good clubs in Binghamton and Wofford, among others prior to the start of conference play. The CAA continues to be one of the best mid-major leagues in the country and 2025 will be no different."
 
"Our state boasts some outstanding baseball throughout, and non-conference midweek games in the state of North Carolina are always challenging," said Kennedy. "Home and home dates with ECU and Wake Forest and a home midweek against UNC highlight some of those games. We are looking forward to the 2025 season and the challenge it brings."
 
Elon will begin the 2024 campaign by hitting the road to take on what might be the preseason number one team in the country in Texas A&M kicking off Valentine's Day weekend.
