Love’s Field is turning into college softball’s most intimidating stage

Oklahoma softball returned to the Sooner State for its home opener this weekend after three weeks on the road to start the 2026 college softball season.

The Sooners are 14-2 and ranked No. 5 in this week's ESPN / USA Softball Collegiate Top 25 Poll after a 15-game season-opening tour through the Pacific and Mountain time zones.

The defending SEC title holder and eight-time national champions Sooners will host Alabama State, Sam Houston State and Southeastern Louisiana for six games at Love's Field from Thursday through Sunday. The Sooners will play Alabama State three times, Sam Houston State twice and close out the home weekend with a single game against SE Louisiana on Sunday.
