This year’s field comprises 56 programs, of which 21 earned automatic bids and 35 entered through at‑large selections. The bracket was revealed during a live selection show on May 10, streamed on NCAA.com, and regional play began on May 14 across several sites.
The action also spilled into the SEC, where the 2026 tournament opened on May 19 at the Hoover Metropolitan Complex in Hoover, Alabama. Georgia’s sophomore Daniel Jackson captured the conference’s regular‑season triple crown, topping the league in batting average, home runs and RBIs.
