Tennessee baseball defends last year’s national championship by hosting a 2025 NCAA tournament regional.
In the Knoxville Regional, the No. 1 seed Vols (43-16) open against No. 4 seed Miami (Ohio) (35-21) on May 30 (6 p.m. ET, ESPN+) at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
No. 2 seed Wake Forest (36-20) and No. 3 seed Cincinnati (32-24) are on the opposite side of the bracket. They play on May 30 (1 p.m. ET, ESPN+).
Tennessee is the No. 14 national seed and could match up with No. 3 national seed Arkansas, which is hosting the Fayetteville Regional. The winners of the two regionals will face off in the super regional.
But first, the Vols must win the Knoxville Regional.
