The 77th edition of the NCAA Division I baseball tournament is set to begin on May 31, with 64 teams competing to secure a ticket to the 2024 Men's College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. The teams that will contend for the 2024 tournament will come from 30 programs that topped week-long season-ending competitions to secure automatic bids to the Field of 64.
The remaining 34 squads will be selected at large by the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee. Teams will be bracketed into 16 groups of four. They would compete in the double-elimination regional tournament scheduled between May 31 and June 3.
The winners of each regional tournament will qualify for the Super Regionals, which will determine the eight contenders for the College World Series.
The Super Regionals are a three-day affair, slated to be held on either June 7-9 or June 8-10, depending on how long the regional tournaments will last.
Following the Super Regionals is the start of the College World Series. This year, the CWS begins on June 14, and eight teams will compete for the last two spots in the best-of-three finals from June 22-24.
