The West Virginia University baseball team has earned the No. 16 overall seed in the 2026 NCAA Baseball Championship, a distinction that also grants the Mountaineers the opportunity to serve as hosts for the upcoming Morgantown Regional at their historic Kendrick Family Ballpark.
Regional Schedule and Ticket Details
The regional tournament is slated to run from May 29 through June 1, featuring a compact slate of games that will be played at the university’s historic Kendrick Family Ballpark. Each contest will be separated by a mandatory 55‑minute intermission, a rule the NCAA enforces to protect player welfare and maintain competitive balance. Should the bracket extend to a seventh game, the schedule will accommodate an additional day, though exact timing remains subject to the flow of play.
Ticket sales for the event have opened online, with a limited inventory of all‑session passes available on a first‑come, first‑served basis. While WVU students were able to secure seats for the opening Friday game, those tickets have now sold out. Remaining tickets for subsequent matchups will be released at 9 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday, contingent on the team’s progression through the bracket.
Parking arrangements have been coordinated with several nearby facilities. Designated lots surrounding Kendrick Family Ballpark will be reserved for ticket holders, though availability is limited and subject to restriction notices. Free parking can be found at adjacent sites such as the Walmart lot, the WVU Medicine campus at University Town Centre, the Courtyard Morgantown hotel, and the Dick’s Sporting Goods store, each of which has posted its own set of access guidelines.
Organizers have clarified that tailgating and restroom usage will not be permitted at certain reserved lots, a measure intended to streamline traffic flow and maintain safety standards across the venue.
