The University of Southern California’s baseball program has earned the No. 2 seed in the 2026 College Station Regional, marking the Trojans’ second straight appearance in the NCAA postseason.
Their first test will come on Friday evening, when they host Texas State in a 6:00 p.m. Pacific/8:00 p.m. Central showdown that will stream live on ESPN+.
Regional dynamics
The regional field also includes Texas A&M and Lamar University, with the format guaranteeing a double‑elimination path that keeps every team’s hopes alive until a champion emerges.
For USC, the stakes extend beyond a single series; a victory could propel the Trojans into the super regional round for the first time in more than two decades, a milestone that would energize the program and its fans.
