The NCAA has announced that the University of Florida will serve as a host site for the 2026 NCAA Baseball Tournament, designating Condron Family Ballpark in Gainesville as the venue for the Gators' regional. The selection places the No. 9/18 Gators among just 16 programs nationwide to receive this honor.
A Milestone for the Program
This marks the 20th occasion that Florida has been selected to run a regional, underscoring the program’s long‑standing reputation as a postseason staple. It also adds to the Gators’ 41st overall NCAA Regional appearance, a testament to their consistent competitiveness over decades.
The Road Ahead
Entering the tournament, the Gators boast a 39‑18 overall record and hold the nation’s best 15‑7 mark against top‑25 opponents, a statistic that highlights the strength of their schedule. The complete field of 64 teams and the specific game times will be unveiled on May 25, when the NCAA releases the bracket that will determine which schools advance to the College World Series.
The 2026 College World Series is slated to take place at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska, running from June 12 through June 22, offering the Gators a potential path to the national championship.
