The 2026 NCAA Division I baseball season is the ongoing college baseball season in the United States organized by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) at the Division I level. It began on February 13, 2026, with play progressing through the regular season, various conference tournaments and championship series, and will conclude with the 2026 NCAA Division I baseball tournament and 2026 Men's College World Series (MCWS). The MCWS will consist of the eight remaining teams in the NCAA tournament and is held annually in Omaha, Nebraska at Charles Schwab Field Omaha. The LSU Tigers are the defending champions.

One school transitioned from NCAA Division II to Division I after the 2025 season.

New Haven in the Division II Northeast-10 Conference. The school started a transition to Division I in July 2025 as a new member of the Northeast Conference.^[1]

A total of five baseball-sponsoring schools changed conferences after the 2025 season.

Delaware and Missouri State joined Conference USA.^[2]^[3]
Grand Canyon joined the Mountain West Conference.^[4]
Seattle joined the West Coast Conference.^[5]
UMass joined the Mid-American Conference.^[6]

One school dropped its program.

Horizon League member Purdue Fort Wayne dropped baseball after the 2025 season.^[7]

One school reinstated its program.

Atlantic 10 Conference member La Salle reinstated its baseball program for the 2026 season.^[8]

The 2026 season is the last for 22 Division I schools in their current baseball conferences, as well as the last before West Florida starts its transition from Division II to Division I. It is also Oregon State's last as a Division I independent. This does not include the three baseball-sponsoring schools of the Western Athletic Conference that will remain members when that conference rebrands as the United Athletic Conference in July 2026.

April 14 – Lehigh set a new Division I record for first-inning runs, scoring 20 against Coppin State on its way to a 38–6 win. The Mountain Hawks surpassed the previous record of 18 first-inning runs first set by Princeton in March 1974 and tied by Air Force the next month. Lehigh fell short of the record for runs in any inning, set the previous season by George Mason with 23 in the second inning against Holy Cross. Lehigh's 38 runs set a new single-game Patriot League record, and Mountain Hawks third baseman Aidan Quinn set a new Division I record by drawing 7 walks.^[9]
