NCAA baseball tournament bracket 2025
The top 16 seeds in the NCAA baseball tournament were announced on Sunday, May 25, and the full bracket was revealed on Monday, May 26.
The top 16 teams in the country will serve as regional hosts for a four-team, double-elimination bracket. The top team in each regional will face the fourth team, and the No. 2 and No. 3 teams will square off. The winners of each of the first games will move on to face one another, while the losers will play in an elimination game. The brackets continue until three teams have two losses each and are eliminated.
The winners of the double-elimination brackets will advance to the super regionals, a best-of-three series hosted by the higher seed. The winner of the No. 1 regional will face the winner of No. 16, No. 2 will face No. 15, and so on.
The winners of the super regionals will advance to the College World Series in Omaha, Neb.
