NCAA Announces 2026 Men’s College World Series Schedule

Ole Miss set for opening matchup against North Carolina as tournament bracket takes shape

2026 Men's College World Series Schedule Unveiled

The NCAA has released the full schedule for the 2026 Men’s College World Series, confirming that the championship event will run from June 12 through June 22 in Omaha, Nebraska. The tournament traditionally draws the nation’s top collegiate teams to the historic downtown ballpark, and this year’s edition promises a packed schedule of matchups.

Ole Miss will open its campaign on June 12 at 6 p.m. Eastern, taking on North Carolina on ESPN. The Rebels enter the bracket with a fresh slate, and the outcome of that first game will dictate their next opponent and date.

Bracket Dynamics and Broadcast Details

Should Ole Miss secure a victory, they are slated to meet the winner of the West Virginia versus Troy contest on June 14 at 6 p.m., again on ESPN. A loss would send them to the consolation bracket, where they would play the loser of that same West Virginia‑Troy matchup at 1 p.m. on the same day.

This appearance marks the Rebels’ first trip to the World Series since 2022 and represents their seventh overall tournament participation. Notably, three of those trips have occurred under the guidance of head coach Mike Bianco, who has become a staple of the program’s postseason pedigree.

The complete bracket, with all dates, times and broadcast assignments, is available on the NCAA’s official site, providing fans with a comprehensive roadmap as the tournament unfolds.
