The Vols, the reigning national champions, will begin their intrasquad series at 6 p.m. ET on Nov. 6 at AT&T Field in Chattanooga, home of the Double-A Chattanooga Lookouts. Tickets are $12 and available through the Lookouts. The second game will take place at 6:30 p.m. ET on Nov. 8 in Kodak, with tickets starting at $10, available via the Smokies.

These Fall World Series scrimmages will wrap up Tennessee’s fall baseball season.

The Vols also have fall exhibitions scheduled against Western Kentucky and Troy. They will face Western Kentucky on Oct. 25 at First Horizon Park in Nashville, where they played Samford in an exhibition in 2023. On Oct. 27, they’ll play Troy at Jackson Baseball Stadium in Jackson, Tennessee, where they previously faced Memphis in a 2022 exhibition.

Tennessee won its first-ever national title in 2024, clinching the College World Series in coach Tony Vitello’s seventh season. They made history as the first SEC team to win 60 games, finishing 60-13 after defeating Texas A&M in the CWS finals.
