Games kick off with the regionals, followed by the super regionals, leading to the celebrated Men’s College World Series, which is scheduled to begin on Friday, June 13, at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, NE. Last year, Tennessee made headlines by winning the 2024 title, defeating Texas A&M in a gripping three-game series. This win marked a significant moment, as Tennessee became the first No. 1 overall seed to clinch the national championship since 1999.
The NCAA Division I baseball tournament has a rich history, first launching in 1947 with just eight teams. Over the years, it has evolved significantly, featuring a much broader format today. Currently, the tournament is divided into two qualifying groups: automatic berths and at-large selections. For 2025, 29 conference champions will earn automatic bids, while 35 additional teams will be chosen by the NCAA DI Baseball Committee to complete the field.
Fans eager for the regionals can check the list of regional hosts ahead of time to make arrangements for watching their favorite teams in action. Overall, the tournament promises weeks of thrilling baseball and the excitement of crowning another national champion.
