2026 College World Series teams, schedule, bracket, TV info

The stage is set for the College World Series in Omaha.

The NCAA baseball tournament field is down to eight teams, and a champion will be decided at Charles Schwab Field over the next couple of weeks. Play begins on Friday and runs until either June 21 or 22.

Our field certainly features some intriguing participants. No teams made the return trip after last year’s CWS, with two of this year’s squads making their first-ever trip to Omaha in West Virginia and Troy. The field also features a pair of SEC teams in Alabama (1999) and Georgia (2008) who are making their first College World Series appearances in quite some time.
