Country roads, take us to Omaha! The field for the 2026 Men's College World Series is set with all eight spots secured. No. 7 Alabama claimed the most recent spot after beating St. John's 7-2 in the Tuscaloosa Super Regional. It will be the Crimson Tide's sixth trip to the MCWS and first since 1999 to snap the second-longest active drought among current SEC teams (Missouri, 1964). They'll face the Oklahoma Sooners, which secured the final spot in Omaha after beating the No. 15 Kansas Jayhawks 13-2. Oklahoma was last in the MCWS in 2022 when it lost in the finals. These two teams met in the regular season with Alabama winning the series by taking two games on the road in Norman. But who will come out on top this weekend? First-timers for the 2026 MCWS field include No. 16 West Virginia and Troy, who will play against each other on Day 1 of the series. Notably, this year's field will feature a totally new crop of eight than 2025's, and almost entirely different crop than 2024's, with the only team having made it in 2024 to make it in 2026 being No. 5 North Carolina. The Tar Heels will be paired with the Ole Miss Rebels. The last time the Rebels made it this far, they won the 2022 national championship over Oklahoma. We've got you covered on everything from game times to score updates for this year's tournament.
