SoCon Baseball Championship to Make ESPNU Debut at Fluor Field

Live coverage set for May 23 as tournament kicks off May 20, featuring Mercer as top seed

The 2026 Southern Conference baseball championship game is set to make history as the first contest ever played at Fluor Field to be carried on a linear ESPN network.

ESPNU will air the final on May 23 at 7:30 p.m. Eastern, while every other tournament game from May 20 through May 23 will be streamed exclusively on ESPN+.

Mercer enters the event as the No. 1 seed after capturing its first regular‑season SoCon title since 2017, and the tournament champion will automatically earn a berth in the NCAA Tournament.

A milestone for Greenville baseball

Greenville Drive founder and chairman Craig Brown expressed enthusiasm about hosting the event, noting the city’s growing reputation as a baseball hub.

Play‑by‑play veteran Victor Rojas will be joined by analyst Jensen Lewis, who together will bring expert commentary to the broadcast.
