ARLINGTON, Texas – REV Entertainment today announced the expansion of its annual College Baseball Series to include a tournament at Surprise Stadium in Surprise, Arizona. The event will take place from Feb. 13-15, 2026 and feature Oregon State as the tournament host along with Arizona, Michigan, and Stanford. Matchups and game times will be announced at a later date.

REV Entertainment is partnering with the City of Surprise to host the tournament at the Spring Training home of the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals, a facility that has annually hosted college baseball since its inaugural season in 2003. 

“We can’t wait to bring the College Baseball Series to Surprise Stadium in 2026,” said Jared Schrom, Senior Vice President of REV Entertainment. “Surprise has a strong history of college baseball, and we’re looking forward to building on the foundation established by the City of Surprise and Oregon State.”

The Surprise tournament will mark the first college baseball games hosted by REV outside of Texas, adding to the company’s growing college baseball footprint. In 2026, REV will host tournaments in three locations: Globe Life Field (Arlington, TX), La Moderna Field (Cleburne, TX), and Surprise Stadium (Surprise, AZ). Surprise Stadium will host the Big 12 Baseball Championship beginning in 2026, an event that will be operated by REV Entertainment in partnership with the Big 12 Conference and City of Surprise.

“The City of Surprise is proud to partner with REV Entertainment to host the College Baseball Series in Surprise,” said Kendra Pettis, Director of Sports and Tourism for the City of Surprise. “This collaboration presents an exciting opportunity to expand the tournament, elevate the fan experience and create a meaningful impact on our community.”
