The road to Omaha is officially underway.
The 2023 NCAA Division I baseball tournament bracket was revealed Monday, as 64 teams vie to reach Charles Schwab Field Omaha in Nebraska and win the Men’s College World Series.
The tournament kicks off Friday with the regional round. The top 16 seeds of the tournament each host during the double-elimination round. Those that emerge from the regional round will advance to the best-of-three super regional.
The No. 1 overall seed heading into the tournament is Wake Forest, which dominated much of the regular season with a 47-10 record. However, being the No. 1 team in the tournament hasn’t been a good omen recently; the last three No. 1 seeds failed to make the Men’s College World Series, and Miami (Florida) is the only No. 1 seed to win it all in 1999.
Here is everything you need to know for the 2023 NCAA Division I baseball tournament:
