The 2026 Ohio Valley Conference Baseball Championship is set to unfold from May 19 through May 23 at Mtn Dew Park in Marion, Illinois, bringing together eight collegiate teams in a compact, high‑stakes format.
A Venue With Deep Roots
Mtn Dew Park, which opened in 2007 after a stint as Rent One Park, has become a familiar stage for the OVC tournament, marking its fifth stint as host and securing a commitment to remain the event’s home through 2029.
Fans can purchase all‑session passes for $30, single‑day adult tickets for $10, and discounted rates of $5 for children under 18, college students and seniors with valid identification, providing flexible options for every budget.
All games will be streamed live on ESPN+, allowing viewers across the country to follow the action from the comfort of their homes while still feeling the energy of the ballpark.
The schedule kicks off with a morning showdown between #2 Eastern Illinois and #3 Southeast Missouri at 9:30 a.m. CT, followed by a midday clash of #1 SIUE and #4 Little Rock at 1:00 p.m. CT, and continues with afternoon and evening contests that pit Southern Indiana against the survivor of Game 5 and Lindenwood against the loser of Game 6 later in the day.
