2026 College World Series Schedule, Bracket, and Results Tracker

The 2026 Men's College World Series figures to be as entertaining as ever, as we have eight brand new teams competing for it all after none of last year's field made a return appearance. West Virginia and Troy will be making their first appearance in program history, and Alabama has made it for the first time since 1999.
This year's Omaha Eight: Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Texas, Troy, and West Virginia.
The eight teams will play in two four-team double-elimination brackets, resembling the setup for regional play. The winner of each bracket will play in the championship series, which is a best-of-three, beginning on June 20th.
