2025 NCAA baseball tournament: Regionals schedule, channels - ESPN

The road to Omaha officially begins!

The 2025 NCAA Division I baseball championship begins Friday, and the tournament looks as stacked as ever. Vanderbilt, which just won the SEC tournament, is the No. 1 overall seed. The rest of the top eight national seeds are Texas at No. 2, Arkansas at No. 3, Auburn at No. 4, North Carolina at No. 5, LSU at No. 6, Georgia at No. 7 and Oregon State at No. 8. And if you kept track, yes, that means six SEC teams make up that bunch, and 13 teams overall from SEC made the tourney — a new record.

Notably, preseason No. 1 Texas A&M, which made a valiant effort in the SEC tournament, did not make this year's bracket after advancing to the championship series in Omaha last year. Defending champion Tennessee is No. 14 overall.

This year's host sites include eight schools from the SEC in LSU, Texas, Auburn, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, Georgia and Tennessee. The other eight host sites include three teams from the ACC in Florida State, North Carolina and Clemson, two from the Big Ten in UCLA and Oregon (this is the first time the Big Ten has multiple regional hosts in the same season), and the final three are Coastal Carolina and Southern Miss from the Sun Belt and independent Oregon State.

We've got you covered on everything from game times, score updates and what to expect going forward in this year's tournament.
