The NCAA announced that Condron Ballpark in Gainesville will host one of the 64 regional sites for the 2026 Division I baseball tournament, continuing a tradition that has become a staple of the Gators' spring schedule.
A Milestone for the Program
This will be the 20th time the Gators have served as a regional host and the 14th edition under the guidance of head coach Kevin O’Sullivan, who has turned the program into a consistent contender on the national stage.
Florida enters the 2026 season with a 39‑19 overall record and a No. 11 ranking in the latest RPI, reflecting a schedule that pits the team against a demanding slate of opponents and earns it the No. 2 spot in strength‑of‑schedule metrics.
The Gators have compiled a 16‑12 record in Quad 1 games while excelling in Quad 2‑4 matchups, posting a 23‑7 record that underscores their depth and resilience as they aim for a top‑eight national seed.
The complete 64‑team field will be revealed on Monday at 12 p.m. E.T. on ESPN2, a broadcast that will set the stage for the upcoming regional rounds and generate excitement among fans and analysts alike.
Other regional sites include locations such as Georgia, Georgia Tech, Auburn, Texas, North Carolina, Texas A&M, Oregon, Southern Miss, Kansas, Nebraska, UCLA, West Virginia, Mississippi State, Florida State, and Alabama, each bringing its own unique atmosphere to the tournament.
For the Gators, hosting the regional at Condron Ballpark offers a chance to leverage home‑field familiarity, energize the fan base, and showcase the program’s continued ascent under O’Sullivan’s leadership as they chase a coveted top‑eight seed.
