Omaha, Nebraska – The excitement is building as the 2025 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament approaches its thrilling conclusion with the Men’s College World Series (MCWS) taking center stage from June 13 to June 22/23.

Looking back, the first-ever NCAA DI baseball tournament took place in 1947, featuring just eight teams in a much simpler format revolving around single-elimination brackets. It’s fascinating to see how far the tournament has come, evolving into the impressive structure we witness today.
In this year’s tournament, 29 conference champions gained automatic qualifications, while 35 teams received at-large bids, all determined by the NCAA DI Baseball Committee. This allows for a diverse competition with various teams from different colleges showcasing their talent in hopes of claiming the coveted championship.
The 2024 Men’s College World Series saw Tennessee becoming the reigning champions after a hard-fought series against Texas A&M. As the countdown to 2025 continues, all eyes are on Omaha, where fans are hopeful to witness more unforgettable moments in college baseball history.
