The 2026 NCAA Division I baseball tournament will be the 79th edition of the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship.[1] The 64-team tournament will begin on Friday, May 29, as part of the 2026 NCAA Division I baseball season and end with the 2026 Men's College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, which will begin on June 12 and end on either June 21 or 22.[2]

The 64 participating NCAA Division I college baseball teams will be selected from an eligible 300 teams. Teams will be divided into 16 regionals of four teams, each of which will conducted via a double-elimination bracket. Regional champions will advance to eight Super Regionals, each of which will be conducted in a best-of-three-game series to determine the eight participants in the Men's College World Series. In the MCWS, two sets of four teams will compete in double-elimination brackets, with the two bracket winners facing each other in a best-of-three-game series.

Sixty-four teams will enter the tournament, with 29 of them receiving an automatic bid by either winning their conference's tournament or by finishing in first place in their conference. The remaining 35 bids are at-large, with selections extended by the NCAA Selection Committee.
