The 2026 UTSA Roadrunners baseball team represented the University of Texas at San Antonio during the 2026 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Roadrunners played their home games at Roadrunner Field as a member of the American Conference. They were led by seventh-year head coach Patrick Hallmark. They concluded the season with a 38-20 record and tied with the East Carolina Pirates for regular season American Conference champions, but failed to improve on their 47-15 record in 2025. They were excluded from the 2026 NCAA Division I baseball tournament after widely being viewed as a bubble team.^[2]

Previous season

The Roadrunners are coming off a 47–15 (23–4) season, which saw the program win the American Conference regular season. They did not win the AAC tournament, but received an at-large berth into the 2025 NCAA Division I baseball tournament as the two-seed in the Austin Regional.^[3] UTSA won the Regional, marking their first-ever regional title. The Roadrunners advanced to the Los Angeles Super Regional, where they lost 0–2 in a three-game-series to UCLA.^[4]
