MAIN Recreation Sports NCAA College World Series

The College World Series takes place each June at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Nebraska, a championship perhaps more closely followed by college baseball fans than the major league World Series for which it is named.

Leading up to the College World Series is the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship tournament in May, which features 64 college baseball teams battling it out in a series of elimination games.

Winners of the regionals are given spots in the super regional games located throughout the country. Two teams go head-to-head at each location for a best of 3 game series. Super Regional action wraps up around mid-month with the last few teams clinching their World Series spots.

2009 College World Series

Winners then move on to the College World Series, this year scheduled for June 13 - 23 with championship games slated for June 23-24, 2009. This year, watch for full TV coverage on ESPN & ESPN 2.

2009 also marks the groundbreaking of construction of the Omaha Baseball Stadium. Watch for updates as the new $128 million downtown stadium, which will be completed in spring 2011, is planned to serve as home to the NCAA Men’s College World Series for the next 25 years.
