The College World Series schedule is set for the first 2 days, even though the field is not yet complete.

During Monday night’s Game 3 of the Durham Super Regional between Duke and Murray State for the final spot in Omaha, the College World Series announced game times for the first 2 days of action.

Arizona and Coastal Carolina will face off in the opening game on Friday at 2 p.m. ET. Louisville and Oregon State will face off in the 2nd game, set for 7 p.m. ET.

On Saturday, the opening game will feature the Duke/Murray State winner against UCLA at 2 p.m. In primetime, we’ll be treated to the LSU vs. Arkansas showdown.

All 4 games will air on ESPN.

The College World Series is double-elimination, with the CWS Finals set to begin June 21. Here’s a look at the updated bracket:

The field is different from what many fans were expecting this season. No. 3 Arkansas and No. 6 LSU are the only top-6 national seeds to make it to the College World Series. The field also includes No. 8 Oregon State, No. 13 Coastal Carolina and No. 15 UCLA, though 3 teams in this year’s CWS are not national seeds (Louisville, Arizona and Duke/Murray State).

A new national champion will be crowned in 2025, as Tennessee fell to Arkansas in the Fayetteville Super Regional. SEC teams have claimed the last 5 national titles (Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, LSU and Tennessee).
