The 2026 NCAA Division I baseball season is the ongoing college baseball season in the United States organized by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) at the Division I level. It began on February 13, 2026, with play progressing through the regular season, various conference tournaments and championship series, and will conclude with the 2026 NCAA Division I baseball tournament and 2026 Men's College World Series (MCWS). The MCWS will consist of the eight remaining teams in the NCAA tournament and is held annually in Omaha, Nebraska at Charles Schwab Field Omaha. The LSU Tigers are the defending champions.

Conference realignment

[edit]

One school transitioned from NCAA Division II to Division I after the 2025 season.

A total of five baseball-sponsoring schools changed conferences after the 2025 season.

One school dropped its program.

One school reinstated its program.

The 2026 season is the last for 21 schools in their current baseball conferences. It is also Oregon State's last as a Division I independent. This does not include the three baseball-sponsoring schools of the Western Athletic Conference that will remain members when that conference rebrands as the United Athletic Conference in July 2026.
