The initial phase towards Omaha and the College World Series has been accomplished, as the NCAA selection committee announced the regional host locations for the 2025 NCAA baseball tournament on Sunday.
Although Texas faced an early elimination from the SEC baseball tournament, it has rightfully earned the opportunity to host a regional at UFCU Disch-Falk Field in Austin, Texas. After being uncertain about hosting a regional, the defending national champion Tennessee has been granted the chance to host the Knoxville Regional for the fourth time in the past five years, following their advancement to the semifinals of the SEC tournament.
The complete NCAA baseball tournament bracket and schedule, which will include all seedings, is set to be unveiled on May 26 at noon ET. The College World Series lineup has already begun to take shape with automatic bids awarded from conference championships.
The regional phase of the NCAA baseball tournament commences on May 30. Subsequently, the 64 teams that qualify for the bracket will strive to become one of the eight teams that earn a place in the College World Series, which begins on June 13.
