FULLERTON, Calif. –  The Cal State Fullerton softball team announced its 2026 schedule on Thursday.

"We're excited to kick off the season with a strong, cohesive team," Oaks Garcia said. "Our returning players bring a deep understanding of Titans Softball's core philosophies, while our upperclassmen provide exceptional leadership both on and off the field. Additionally, our first-year players have already made a significant impact. The team's commitment to our 'Team First, One Mode' mentality grows stronger every day, and we're thrilled to face several Top 25 opponents right out of the gate."
