The 2024 NCAA Division I baseball tournament will be the 77th edition of the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship. The 64-team tournament will begin on Friday, May 31, as part of the 2024 NCAA Division I baseball season and end with the 2024 Men's College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, which will begin on June 14 and end on June 23/24.[1][2]
The 64 participating NCAA Division I college baseball teams will be selected from an eligible 300 teams. 30 teams will be awarded automatic bids as champions of their conferences, and 34 teams will be selected at-large by the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee. Teams will then be divided into sixteen regionals of four teams, each of which is conducted via a double-elimination tournament. Regional champions will then face each other in Super Regionals, a best-of-three-game series, to determine the eight participants in the Men's College World Series.
Tournament procedure
A total of 64 teams will enter the tournament, with 30 of them receiving an automatic bid by either winning their conference's tournament or by finishing in first place in their conference. The remaining 34 bids will be at-large, with selections extended by the NCAA Selection Committee.
National seeds
The sixteen national seeds will be announced on the Selection Show on May 27.[3] Teams in italics advanced to the Super Regionals. Teams in bold advanced to the 2024 Men's College World Series.
