The 2025 Men’s College World Series (MCWS) is ready to kick off on Friday, June 13, in Omaha, Nebraska. Eight top teams will hit the field at Charles Schwab Field. They will play a series where if you lose twice, you’re out, ending with the best-of-three games for the title, starting June 21.
This year, the last eight are Arizona, Arkansas, Coastal Carolina, LSU, Louisville, Murray State, Oregon State, and UCLA. All moved on after good play in their Super Regionals. The games split into two groups, with teams trying to dodge two losses to make it to the final game.
