Oregon State Beavers Headed to Eugene Regional

For the 2026 Oregon State Beavers baseball team, the first road to Omaha is humble Oregon Route 99.
Shortly after 9:20 AM this morning on ESPN, the NCAA Division I college baseball Selection Show announced that Oregon State would head to Eugene's PK Park, the home park of the Beavers' arch-rival Oregon Ducks, for this weekend's regional round. The four-team regional will be a double-elimination format, and the regional champion will advance to a three-game series in the NCAA Super Regionals.
Oregon State (43-12) is officially the #2 seed in the regional, below #1 seed Oregon (11th nationally), but above #3 Washington State (30-26) and #4 Yale (30-13-1). The pride of the Palouse claimed an automatic bid to the the regional by winning the Mountain West Conference tournament, while the Ivy League leading Bulldogs also earned an automatic bid, defended their regular season title with a conference tournament championship.
The weekend will mark a reunion for Oregon, Oregon State, and Washington State, as the three schools were members of the Conference of Champions - the moniker for the century spanning conference that once made up the Pac 12 - until Oregon and nine other schools departed following the 2023 season. In addition, the three west coast schools have some familiarity this season, as Oregon State played Oregon and Washington State twice each, splitting both schools.
On Friday May 29th at 12 PM PST, Oregon State and Washington State will begin the regional. Coverage will air on ESPN+ and on Beavers Sports Network statewide radio affiliates. Later that night at 5 PM PST, Oregon will battle Yale. The full schedule is as follows:
