A historic matchup
The 15th‑ranked Kansas Jayhawks will open the 2026 NCAA Super Regional against Oklahoma on Saturday, June 6, at Hoglund Ballpark in Lawrence. The best‑of‑three series marks only the second time in program history that Kansas has reached the super regionals, and the stakes could not be higher.
Kansas last appeared in the College World Series in 1993, a feat that has eluded the program for more than three decades. This weekend’s contest offers the Jayhawks a chance to end that drought and punch their ticket to the national stage.
Oklahoma arrives in Lawrence after a stunning upset of Georgia Tech, the nation’s No. 2 seed, which propelled the Sooners into this stage. The victory underscores the team’s resilience and sets the tone for a potentially explosive showdown.
The game is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on ESPN2, with a live stream available through the ESPN app and Fubo. Fans across the country will be watching as the Jayhawks and Sooners battle for momentum.
Coach Dan Fitzgerald has been vocal about the team’s preparation, emphasizing the need for disciplined pitching and timely hitting. His leadership has been credited with shaping a roster that is eager to make its mark on college baseball history.
