The 2026 NCAA Division I baseball tournament was the 79th edition of the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship.[1] The 64-team tournament began on May 29, as part of the 2026 NCAA Division I baseball season and ended with the 2026 Men's College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, which was played from June 12 and ended on June 22.[2]
The 64 participating NCAA Division I college baseball teams were selected from an eligible 300 teams. Teams were divided into 16 regionals of four teams, each of which were conducted via a double-elimination bracket. Regional champions advanced to eight Super Regionals, each of which was contested in a best-of-three-game series to determine the eight participants in the Men's College World Series. In the MCWS, two sets of four teams competed in double-elimination brackets, with the two bracket winners facing each other in a best-of-three-game series.
Reigning national champion LSU was not selected for the tournament for the first time since 2011. The Tigers, who won their eighth national championship in 2025, finished 30-28 overall and 9-21 in the Southeastern Conference, placing 14th out of 16 teams. LSU was one of four teams which played in the 2025 MCWS to not qualify for this year's tournament; the others were Arizona, Louisville and Murray State. The other four participants (Arkansas, Coastal Carolina, Oregon State, and national top-seed UCLA) did not advance out of the regional round. This marked the second consecutive year of no teams returning to the Men's College World Series in consecutive years, after there had been at least one returnee each year from 1957 through 2024. It was also the first time in the Super Regional era (since 1999) that none of the prior year's MCWS participants advanced to the subsequent year's Super Regional round.
For the second consecutive year and just third time in the 64-team era (since 1999), the top two national seeds, UCLA and Georgia Tech, were eliminated in their home regional in 2026; joining 2014 (Oregon State and Florida) and 2025 (Vanderbilt and Texas).
