OMAHA, Neb. – Mercifully, it hasn’t been hot thus far in Omaha during the 2026 Men’s College World Series, but the action on the field is starting to heat up.
Ole Miss was the first team eliminated at this year’s College World Series after suffering a 12-8 loss to Troy on Sunday afternoon, and today, either Alabama or Texas will be going home following the 2 p.m. EDT elimination game. Ruger Riojas is expected to start for Texas, while Alabama hasn’t named a starter, though Longhorns head coach Jim Schlossnagle speculated that Zane Adams would start for the Crimson tide during his postgame press conference Saturday.
At night, Oklahoma will face Georgia at 7 p.m. EDT, and the winner of that game will be a Wednesday night win away from the championship series. Neither team has announced a starter.
Weather – According to The Weather Channel, Tuesday will be sunny and warm with no rain expected in Omaha. The afternoon will bring a high of 84 degrees and winds out of the west at 10 mph.
Where to Watch – Every game of the 2026 Men’s College World Series will be televised on ESPN, with the exception of Game 2 of the Championship Series. That game, scheduled for Sunday, June 22 at 2:30 p.m. EDT, will be televised on ABC.
