How Does the NCAA Baseball Tournament Work?
For those new to collegiate baseball or softball, the final tournament can appear somewhat daunting, but we’re here to clarify. Following the regular season’s close in mid to late May, the NCAA DI’s 64-team tournament lineup is formed. Starting in 2025, 29 conference champions receive automatic entry and 35 teams receive at-large bids from the NCAA DI Baseball Committee.
These teams participate in two multi-game stages — Regionals and Super Regionals — narrowing the field to the final eight.
These eight then advance to the Men’s College World Series, competing in two brackets in a double elimination tournament. The bracket winners face off in the CWS finals, or the national championship. Essentially, the College World Series is the NCAA Tournament’s climax, akin to the Elite 8 in March Madness. The ultimate champion emerges from a best-of-three series championship series showdown.
