CU is scheduled to begin the season January 31 and February 1 against Carson-Newman and Kentucky State in Jefferson City, Tennessee.

Non-conference highlights include Concord's home opener February 8-9 versus California (Pa.) at the CU Softball Field. The Mountain Lions will also be home February 14-15 versus Belmont Abbey and Walsh. From there, CU embarks on a month-long road trip that doesn't see the Maroon and Gray at home again until March 29-30 when they face West Virginia State and Charleston.
Among the road contests will be the annual spring break trip to Clermont, Florida March 7-11. Opponents have not yet been finalized in Florida.
April begins with a non-conference home doubleheader versus Emory & Henry April 3. The home stand continues April 5-6 against MEC North foes Wheeling and West Liberty. And the 12-game home stand concludes April 9 versus Glenville State.
