Texas Secures No. 6 Seed and Hosts Austin Regional in NCAA Baseball Championship

Longhorns set to lead a regional field that includes UC Santa Barbara, Tarleton State and Holy Cross, as ticket sales open soon.

The University of Texas entered the 2026 NCAA Division I baseball tournament as the No. 6 overall seed, earning the right to host the Austin Regional.

Regional Field

The regional will feature a quartet of programs: UC Santa Barbara, Tarleton State, and Holy Cross joining the Longhorns in a double‑elimination format that runs from May 29 through June 1.

This marks the 39th occasion that Texas has served as the host site for an NCAA regional, underscoring the program’s longstanding tradition of delivering a premier championship experience.

The Longhorns are slated to appear in their 65th postseason appearance, a testament to the program’s consistent competitiveness on the national stage.

Schedule and Ticket Information

All 16 regionals are scheduled to be played between May 29 and June 1, with Texas’s Austin Regional paired with the Eugene Regional, hosted by No. 11 overall seed Oregon.

Session tickets will be made available first to Longhorn Foundation donors at 1 p.m. on May 25, while single‑session tickets for the general public will go on sale at 10 a.m. on May 26.

Texas’s strong postseason pedigree, boasting an all‑time NCAA Regional record of 153‑60‑1 (.721), positions the team as a formidable contender as it seeks to advance to the super regional round.
