All eight best-of-three series will air across ESPN platforms June 6-9, including on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU. All games will also be available to stream live on ESPN+.

Comprehensive surrounding programming of the college baseball postseason continues this weekend with the popular Squeeze Play Presented by Capital One, streaming on ESPN+. Kris Budden and Dari Nowkhah host with analyst Mike Rooney as the trio brings viewers multi-game look-ins, scores, highlights and more.

How we got here

  • The ACC leads all conferences with five teams headed to the Super Regionals, including ACC Tournament champion and No. 5 overall seed North Carolina. The SEC is sending four teams to the Super Regionals, making it 15 teams in the last three years advancing at least to this round, while the Big 12 has representation in West Virginia and Arizona. Elsewhere, the MVC has now had four different teams advance to the Super Regionals in the past five seasons. Both the ACC and SEC are guaranteed to have a team advance to Omaha.
  • Six regional sites came down to winner-take-all games on Monday, highlighted by Murray State holding on to upset No. 10 overall seed Ole Miss and No. 6 LSU rallying late to defeat Cindarella story Little Rock.
  • Several regional hosts were knocked out of the tournament early as Murray State became just the 10th No. 4 seed in the 64-team era (1999) to win a regional. In addition, five No. 2 seeds – Louisville, UTSA, Duke, West Virginia and Arizona – and one No. 3 seed (Miami) all advanced to the Super Regionals.
  • The 2025 Regionals were the third most-watched regional round on record. The top game of the round was Monday night’s LSU vs. Little Rock Game 7, which averaged 876,000 viewers on ESPN and peaked with 1.1 million viewers. This was the second most-watched Regional game on record, trailing only the 2024 North Carolina vs. LSU game (964,000 viewers).

Super Storylines

  • Per ESPN Baseball Insider Kiley McDaniel, the Super Regional round will feature 14 of the top 40 MLB Draft prospects, including top overall prospect and Florida State ace Jamie Arnold. Other top prospects include left-handers Liam Doyle (Tennessee) and Kade Anderson (LSU), and power-hitting shortstop Aiva Arquette (Oregon State).
  • Tennessee and Arkansas match up in an intriguing Super Regional filled with a number of the country’s top players, including 2025 Golden Spike Award semifinalists Doyle and Wehiwa Aloy, the star Razorback shortstop.
  • Despite seven of the top 16 teams being eliminated, college baseball powerhouses remain in the field. Recent MCWS champions playing this weekend include Tennessee (2024), LSU (2023), Oregon State (2018), Coastal Carolina (2016), UCLA (2013) and Arizona (2012).

Additional Men’s College World Series coverage details will be announced in the coming weeks. All scheduling updates throughout the NCAA Baseball Tournament can be found here.
