It’s NCAA Regional Friday, where the 2026 NCAA Baseball Tournament starts at 16 campus sites around the country.
Below is a full schedule sorted by host site with broadcast and streaming information for each game. Further down is a composite schedule of all of Friday’s games sorted by start time.
Regional Format – Four teams are assigned to each regional site and seeded one through four. On the first day, the No. 1 seed faces the No. 4 seed and the No. 2 seed faces the No. 3 seed, with the regional host, which is always the top seed, having the choice of playing the afternoon game or the night game.
On Saturday, the teams that lost Friday’s games square off first in an elimination game, with the winners playing on Saturday evening.
On Sunday, the losing team of Saturday’s late game faces the losing team in Saturday’s late game in an elimination game. The winning team from Sunday’s early game faces the undefeated winner of Saturday’s late game. Should Sunday’s early-game winner also win the late game, it will force a deciding elimination game on Monday.
Where to Watch – Every game from the NCAA Regionals will either be televised or streamed live. ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU, as well as the SEC Network and ACC Network, will be carrying select games live, with the other games streamed on ESPN+, ESPN’s subscription-based streaming service. See the schedules below for telecast information on each game.
