The NCAA has released the schedule for the 2026 Men’s College World Series, confirming that the Ole Miss Rebels will open their campaign in Omaha against the University of North Carolina. The first game is set for Friday at 6 p.m. and will be broadcast on ESPN.
Ole Miss’s appearance marks the seventh time the program has reached the Series and its first since 2022, ending a two‑year hiatus that has kept fans eager for a return to the national stage.
Depending on the result of that opening contest, the Rebels will take the field again on Sunday, June 14, either at 6 p.m. or 1 p.m., facing the winner or the loser of the West Virginia versus Troy matchup, respectively.
What’s at Stake
The early schedule not only tests the Rebels against seasoned opponents but also offers a chance to showcase the program’s progress under Coach Mike Bianco, who has guided the team through three previous Omaha trips and looks to add another chapter to his tenure.
