College baseball's best teams are preparing for the 2024 NCAA baseball tournament, with the ultimate goal of reaching the College World Series in Omaha.
Top-ranked Tennessee, which has held the spot in the USA TODAY Sports baseball coaches poll for 29 of the 31 weeks this season, figures to be the odds-on favorite to reach the championship series. But the tournament is always full of unexpected twists and turns along the way.
The full field of 64 teams will be revealed Monday, with the top 16 schools hosting four-team regionals. The winners move on to the super regionals, which will trim the field to the elite eight schools advancing to Omaha.
When does College World Series start?
The NCAA Division I baseball tournament begins with the regionals, hosted by the top 16 overall seeds, from May 31-June 3.
The winners advance to the super regionals, held June 7-9 and June 8-10.
The eight super regional champions advance to Omaha for the Men's College World Series. Double-elimination play begins June 14, with the best-of-3 College World Series final June 22, 23 and 24 (if necessary).
Where is College World Series played?
The Men's College World Series will be contested at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska.
The MCWS has been held in Omaha since 1950, the majority of the time at historic Rosenblatt Stadium. In 2011, the tournament moved to Charles Schwab Field, which has a seating capacity of 24,000 and can be expanded to 35,000.
Who won the 2023 College World Series?
LSU defeated Florida 18-4 in Game 3 of last year's College World Series final in Omaha, Nebraska, for its seventh national championship in program history.
Pitcher Paul Skenes was named the tournament's most outstanding player and outfielder Dylan Crews went 4-for-6 in the final to reach base in all 71 of the Tigers' games during the season. The pair made history later by becoming the first teammates to be selected first and second overall in the MLB draft.
