The 2026 Conference USA Baseball Championship field is now fully defined, with the Liberty Flames earning the No. 2 seed among nine teams vying for the title.
Tournament organizers have structured the event into three pools of three teams each, after which the top finisher from each pool and a wild‑card entry will move into a single‑elimination semifinal round that culminates in a championship game.
Pool A will showcase the No. 1 seed, a No. 6 seed and a No. 9 seed, while Pool B contains the No. 2 seed, a No. 5 seed and a No. 8 seed, and Pool C features the No. 3, No. 4 and No. 7 seeds. The opening match of Pool B pits No. 5 LA Tech against No. 8 Sam Houston at 10 a.m., setting the tone for a day of early‑morning action.
Subsequent games follow a staggered schedule: Pool B contests begin at 10 a.m., Pool A games are slated for 1:30 p.m., and Pool C matchups start at 5 p.m., allowing fans to follow a steady stream of baseball from Wednesday through Sunday.
All tournament games will be staged at a member home site for the sixth consecutive season, underscoring the league’s tradition of hosting the event on campus grounds.
The championship showdown on Sunday at 1 p.m. will be nationally televised by CBS Sports Network, while every other contest will stream on ESPN+, giving viewers multiple ways to catch the action.
