Full schedule and bracket for the 2024 College World Series
College baseball's race to Omaha begins this week.
Sixty-four teams prepare to enter the regional stage of the 2024 College World Series tournament, which starts on Friday. Only 16 of those teams will move on to the super regionals, where the College World Series field eventually narrows down to its final eight. That group will go to Omaha, Nebraska for the Men's College World Series double-elimination bracket to determine this year's champion.
Most of college baseball's conference tournaments concluded this past weekend, determining 30 automatic bids for conference winners. The remaining 34 spots will be filled by teams that earn at-large bids for strong regular season and conference tournament performances. Sixteen of the best teams in college baseball get to host the regional matchups and also receive automatic bids to the tournament ahead of Monday's selection show.
After Monday's official bracket reveal, here's the full schedule for the 2024 College World Series.
