Regional champions then faced each other in Super Regionals, a best-of-three-game series, to determine the eight participants in the Men's College World Series.

Tournament procedure

A total of 64 teams entered the tournament, with 31 of them receiving an automatic bid by either winning their conference's tournament or by finishing in first place in their conference. The remaining 33 bids were at-large, with selections extended by the NCAA Selection Committee.

One of the national seeds, Kentucky, faced serious logistical challenges due to multiple events scheduled in the area during the regional weekend:
The NCAA cleared Kentucky as a regional host due to the school's contingency plans. Three residence halls, all newer facilities with apartment-style accommodations located near the UK ballpark, were secured for use by participating teams. UK also secured hotel rooms an hour's drive away in Louisville for potential use. All participating teams, including Kentucky, were ultimately housed in the residence halls.

Schedule and venues

On May 28, the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee announced the sixteen regional host sites.
