The 2026 College World Series will feature a highly anticipated Saturday night contest between the Georgia Bulldogs and the Texas Longhorns, scheduled for 8 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.
Georgia arrives with a 51-12 record and has won 19 of its last 20 outings, a streak that has propelled them into the national conversation.
Texas, sitting at 45-13, earned its spot by sweeping through the Austin Super Regional, where they defeated Oregon twice after earlier victories over Holy Cross, Tarleton State and UC Santa Barbara.
The broadcast will be anchored by veteran play-by-play voice Karl Ravech, with analysts Kyle Peterson, Chris Burke and Kris Budden providing insight throughout the game.
The tournament’s schedule stretches from June 12 through a potential championship series that could spill over until June 22, giving teams ample opportunity to jockey for position.

Georgia coach Wes Johnson has emphasized the need for a solid game plan against Texas left-hander Dylan Volantis, who enters the game at 10-1 with a 2.13 ERA.
