From the first pitches to the final outs, ESPN has the Road to Omaha covered as it will present every game of the 2021 NCAA Division I Baseball Championship Presented by Capital One, beginning on Friday, June 4, with NCAA Regionals action from all 16 sites across the country.
ESPN networks will combine to carry a potential 153 total matchups from the championship, which includes this weekend’s regionals (June 4-7), super regionals (June 11-14) and the Men’s College World Series (June 19-29/30).

Squeeze Play will stream live on ESPN3 and the ESPN App beginning at noon ET each day of the Regional round, and will air on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU at various times throughout the first weekend of action.
The Field
The 64-team championship field was unveiled Monday on ESPN2 during the NCAA Baseball Championship Selection Special Presented by Capital One. Each regional is a four-team, double-elimination tournament with one team advancing to the best-of-three super regional series.
Arkansas leads the way as the No. 1 overall seed, followed by No. 2 Texas, No. 3 Tennessee, No. 4 Vanderbilt, No. 5 Arizona, No. 6 TCU, No. 7 Mississippi State, No. 8 Texas Tech, No. 9 Stanford, No. 10 Notre Dame, No. 11 Old Dominion, No. 12 Ole Miss, No. 13 East Carolina, No. 14 Oregon, No. 15 Florida and No. 16 Louisiana Tech.
