🐯 TIGERS BACK ON TOP: Relive LSU winning the 2025 Men’s College World Series
NCAA DI baseball tournament selection process
The 2026 NCAA DI baseball tournament field was announced during a selection show on Monday, May 25 on ESPN2.
Since 1954, the bracket has been split into two qualifying groups: automatic berths and the at-large selections. Like last year, this season 29 conference champions received automatic berths and 35 teams received at-large bids, decided by the NCAA DI Baseball Committee.
To be eligible for an at-large bid, teams must have a better than .500 record against DI opponents.

The SEC has had its way in Omaha recently, winning the last seven titles after the Sooners took home the 2026 MCWS. Take a look at the full history below.
