TEMPE – On Wednesday afternoon, Sun Devil Softball head coach Megan Bartlett and her staff announced the non-conference portion of Arizona State’s softball schedule that will complete her program’s 2026 regular season softball slate following the announcement of ASU's conference series in October.

Arizona State will open the new campaign with 25 consecutive home games at Alberta B.
