The 2025 College World Series is finally here. With that, fans are flocking to Omaha for the chance to watch the games in person. For those who can’t make it to Nebraska, no problem. The games will also be on television through ESPN, with the network recently announcing its broadcast teams.

The College World Series is going to be held from June 13th through June 23, if necessary. ESPN has the rights to show every game of it, with those games set to appear across networks. There are eight teams that made the field, including ArizonaArkansasCoastal CarolinaLSULouisvilleOregon State, Murray State, and UCLA. They’ll be divided into two four-team brackets, with the two winners of those brackets coming out to play one another in a three-game series against each other for the championship.

Interestingly, only the SEC has multiple teams in this year’s College World Series, with two teams. Oregon State, meanwhile, is currently an Independent. So, six different conferences are going to be represented in Omaha this season.

ESPN’s SEC Network and ACC Network are both going to have a presence at the College World Series. That includes on-site coverage from the SEC Network. Meanwhile, the ACC Network’s flagship show, All ACC, will be on-site in Omaha. However, it’s going to be a national broadcast team in Omaha to call games for ESPN.
