Omaha, NE – As the excitement builds for the 2025 NCAA college baseball championship, fans are eagerly awaiting the announcement of the 64 teams that will compete for the coveted title. This announcement is set to take place on Monday, May 26, at approximately 12 p.m. ET and will be broadcasted on either ESPN2 or ESPNU.
Once the teams are revealed, they will be divided into 16 regions, with each region containing four teams that are seeded from one to four. This structure sets the stage for a double-elimination tournament, meaning teams will have to lose twice before being eliminated. The tournament kicks off with the regionals, progresses to the super regionals, and finally culminates with the Men’s College World Series, which begins on June 13 at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha.
Last year, Tennessee made waves by clinching the 2024 title against Texas A&M in a gripping three-game series. This victory was particularly noteworthy as Tennessee became the first No. 1 overall seed to claim the championship since 1999.
For those unfamiliar with how the tournament works, it involves a total of 64 teams. After the initial two rounds of multiple games, just eight teams remain. These teams will then head to Omaha for the final showdown in the Men’s College World Series. The MCWS features two brackets, with the winners of each bracket clashing in a best-of-three series to determine the national champion.
Looking back at history, the first-ever NCAA DI baseball tournament took place in 1947 with only eight teams participating. Since then, the tournament has evolved significantly. Today, the field has expanded, with 29 conference champions receiving automatic berths and 35 at-large selections, all determined by the NCAA DI Baseball Committee.
As we approach the announcement of the 2025 tournament teams, anticipation continues to grow among players and fans alike. With the promise of thrilling matchups ahead, this year’s championship is shaping up to be an exciting series of games.
