The NCAA Division I Baseball Championship Subcommittee has revealed the 16 venues that will stage the opening rounds of the 79th edition of the Division I baseball tournament. The regional sites, spread across the United States, will each welcome four teams in a double‑elimination bracket running from May 29 through June 1.

Regional Hosts and Formats

Each of the 16 regionals will feature a compact four‑team setup, with all games played over a three‑day window. The format mirrors past years, but the selection of hosts reflects a blend of tradition and new milestones.

Florida State stands out as the most frequent regional host, securing the right to run a sub‑regional for the 38th time in its history. In contrast, Kansas will conduct its inaugural regional, marking a historic first for the program.

The full 64‑team championship field and the precise pairings for each regional will be disclosed on May 25, giving coaches and fans a clearer picture of the road ahead.

The Road to Omaha

Following the regional round, the winners will advance to the Men’s College World Series, which is scheduled to open on June 12 at Charles Schwab Field Omaha in Omaha, Nebraska. The series will determine the national champion after a series of high‑stakes games.

With the tournament’s schedule now taking shape, teams will begin final preparations, knowing that a trip to Omaha represents the ultimate prize in college baseball.
