Oklahoma coach Pete Hughes released his team's 2016 slate Monday afternoon.
The schedule is headlined by a three-game trip to Los Angeles the first weekend in March.
The Sooners will play road games against UCLA and Southern California before facing Mississippi State in Dodger Stadium.
OU will open its season with a four-game series against Northeastern that begins on Friday, Feb. 19, 2016. The Sooners start conference play on March 25 against Texas Tech on the road. Oklahoma's home conference opener will be April 1 against Texas.
Oklahoma's schedule also features 26 games against top-100 RPI programs from a year ago.
"Our schedule is driven by RPI,” Hughes said in a press release. “To move on and play games deep into June, we’ve geared out schedule to take advantage of the value of road wins, relative to the RPI, while also recognizing that it’s on us to win more of those critical games. I think this schedule improves our chances of taking that next step and reaching the postseason.”
Oklahoma will renew its Bedlam series with Oklahoma State with a non-conference matchup on April 19 in Norman. The two programs will then battle again in Oklahoma City on May 13 and in Tulsa on May 14 and 15.
