NCAA baseball bracket 2026: Updated selections for regionals in Road to College World Series
UCLA, 51-6, earned the top overall seed as 64 teams were placed into 16 regionals and a three-week path to Omaha.
- The NCAA released the 64-team bracket Monday for the 2026 baseball tournament, with 16 four-team regionals beginning Friday, May 29 in double-elimination format through June 1.
- Conference championship games concluded Sunday, setting the stage for regional host assignments determined by the NCAA Selection Committee's top 16 national seeds.

- USC coach Andy Stankiewicz acknowledged the immediate challenge, saying "before you get in Omaha, you got to get to a regional," after the Trojans' 7-5 walk-off loss to UCLA ended their Big Ten tournament hopes.
