One thing is guaranteed at the 2025 College World Series: A new champion will be crowned. For the first time in the super regional era, no team that reached the College World Series in 2024 will appear in the tournament this year.
That’s quite the turnaround, and should guarantee the field is more wide open than it’s been in recent years, especially after reigning champion Tennessee was eliminated Sunday.

With the event completely up for grabs, which team will rise to the occasion and win it all? Here’s everything you need to know about the 2025 College World Series.

College World Series bracket
Here’s how the men’s 2025 College World Series bracket sits after play on Monday.
-
Louisville (40-22) faces Oregon St. (47-14-1): Game 1, Friday at 7 p.m. ET
-
Arizona (44-19) will take on Coastal Carolina (53-11): Game 1, Friday at 2 p.m. ET

Seven of eight teams made it to the College World Series on Sunday. The final spot was claimed by Murray State with a win over Duke on Monday night. The Racers will play UCLA in the first round of the 2025 College World Series.
College World Series location
Since 1950, the College World Series has been held in Omaha, Nebraska. The event used to take place at the Rosenblatt Stadium. It shifted to Charles Schwab Field Omaha starting in 2011, and will be held there again this year.

When the event first started in 1947, it was held in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The College World Series was played in Kalamazoo for two years before it moved to Wichita, Kansas, in 1949.
How many teams are in the College World Series?
A total of eight teams advance to play in the College World Series in Omaha. Those eight teams are determined after a 64-team tournament featuring NCAA DI schools.
Those final eight teams then play in two brackets, with the winners facing off in a best-of-three series in the finals.
Is the College World Series double elimination?
The College World Series is a double-elimination tournament. That means a team must lose two games before it’s eliminated. Teams that lose their first-round games are put in an elimination bracket. One team eventually emerges from that bracket to play against the undefeated team in their bracket. An undefeated team must lose twice to get eliminated, which is why “if necessary” games are scheduled for June 19. If an undefeated team gets upset in Game 1, the second game will likely occur on June 19.

Once the finals begin, the two remaining teams will play a best-of-three series. The team that wins two games will be the champion.
College World Series channel, how to watch 2025 event
ESPN will broadcast nearly every single game of the College World Series. There are a few exceptions in 2025, however.
The 7 p.m. ET game on Sunday, June 15, will air over on ESPN2, likely due to “Sunday Night Baseball.”
Game 2 of the finals will air on ABC. That contest is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, June 22.
If a Game 3 is necessary in the finals, ESPN will broadcast that game.

Fã de Ronaldo, Yago Dora faz penteado ‘Cascão’ para comemorar título mundial de surfe
-- Eu cresci com as memórias do Ronaldo jogando na seleção brasileira. Quando eu era criança, o Brasil ganhou o penta e essa memória ficou marcada na minha cabeça. Sempre foi meu jogador favorito. Eu acho o futebol um esporte muito bonito. Eu adoro assistir. É um pouco mais difícil assistir agora que a gente tem de estar a cada hora do lado do mundo, com os horários diferentes, então ficou um pouco mais difícil de acompanhar, mas quando era mais novo acompanhava tudo e sempre fui fanzaço do Ronaldo do jeito que ele jogava. E eu há dois anos. Atrás eu quis mudar o número da minha laica para 9, porque acho que o 9 representa isso, o cara que chega ali na hora importante e define o jogo e faz as coisas acontecerem.

Sabalenková lituje zdrcenou Vondroušovou: Vím, jak hrozně ji to musí bolet
Vondroušová se po vleklých zdravotních problémech konečně dostala do své top formy a experti jí po spanilé jízdě newyorským grandslamem dávali více než solidní šance i do utkání proti nejlepší hráčce WTA Sabalenkové.Necelé dvě hodiny před startem night session na Arthur Ashe Stadium však vyšla najevo smutná zpráva o odstoupení Vondroušové z turnaje, když ji do hry nepustilo zraněné koleno a po konzultaci s turnajovým doktorem se rozhodla neriskovat zhoršení zranění.„Markéty je mi moc líto, obzvlášť po tom, čím vším si prošla. Hrála tu fantastický tenis a vím, jak hrozně moc ji to musí bolet. Opatruj se a doufám, že budeš brzy v pořádku,“ přispěchala s reakcí Sabalenková ve svém instagramovém příběhu.
