Here is more on how the tournament works:
What is the difference between the Division I baseball tournament and the College World Series?
The ɬַ DI baseball tournament is a 64-team tournament that starts in late May. After two rounds of play (which each consist of multiple games), there are just eight teams left. These eight teams then head to Omaha, NE. for the College World Series. The CWS is the culmination of the DI tournament, where the teams compete in two brackets, with the winners of each meeting in the CWS finals, a best-of-three series to decide the ɬַ champion.
When did the College World Series start?
The first-ever ɬַ DI baseball tournament was in 1947, and would barely be recognized as the same tournament nowadays. The 1947 tournament featured just eight teams, which were divided into two four-team, single-elimination brackets. The two winners — California and Yale — then met in a best-of-three final in Kalamazoo, MI. California would go undefeated through the inaugural CWS and beat Yale to capture the first title.
How are teams selected for the ɬַ Division I baseball tournament?
Since 1954, the ɬַ DI baseball tournament field has been split into two qualifying groups: the automatic berths, and the at-large selections. Since 2025, 29 conference champions receive automatic berths, and 35 teams receive at-large bids, decided by the ɬַ DI Baseball Committee.
