When does the 2025 NCAA baseball tournament start? Regional schedules, venues
The road to Omaha has officially arrived.
Over the last handful of days, the NCAA baseball tournament bracket has come into view, with nearly half of the field solidified with conference tournament automatic bids and the release of the top 16 national seeds by the NCAA Tournament selection committee.
The full 64-team bracket will be released at noon ET on May 26 on ESPN2. Things then will get real for the 64 teams that made the field, as all of them will begin their chase for the same common goal of winning a College World Series national championship at Charles Schwab Field.
