Editor’s note: Follow live updates from NCAA baseball Super Regionals with USA TODAY Sports’ daily live scoreboard.
We’ll have an entirely new field at the 2026 College World Series. None of the 16 teams left in the NCAA baseball tournament’s super regionals were in Omaha last season.
That’s a complete reshuffle for the second year in a row.
The USA TODAY Network will provide comprehensive super regionals coverage this weekend with reporters at seven of the eight sites.
We asked beat writers with teams remaining in the super regionals for their CWS picks. Here’s who they think will be headed to Charles Schwab Field next week.
