2022 NCAA baseball tournament commentators

Sixty-four teams qualify for the 2022 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament.

The qualifiers are grouped into 16 four-team, double-elimination brackets. Regional winners advance to eight best-of-three super regionals. Super regional winners advance to the Men's College World Series at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska, which consist of two four-team brackets and a best-of-three championship series.

The qualifiers will be announced Monday, May 30, at noon EDT on ESPN2.

The top 16 seeds will host, provided they submit a bid; this is a return to the 2019 structure after the 2020 tournament was canceled and the 2021 tournament had predetermined sites to facilitate COVID testing.

ESPN handles the production at all 25 host sites, which makes this easier to track but also less fun to track than when schools could produce their own broadcasts. That's 126 to 153 total possible games.

All 16 sites are scheduled to run from Friday to Sunday, although that can change if a school with a policy against playing on Sunday gets into the tournament. (BYU, which famously can't play on Sunday, is the primary team that creates issues here.)

There are 44 windows on ESPN's linear schedules for the first weekend, although this total is subject to change. The regional weekend will include anywhere from 96 to 112 games, all of which will be available on ESPN+ if they aren't televised on a linear network (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SEC Network, ACC Network or Longhorn Network). This is a change from past years as the games move behind the ESPN+ paywall and off of ESPN3.

All 30 to 41 games from the super regionals forward are televised.

Games preceded by a hyphen are elimination games; games preceded by a plus sign are elimination games only for the second team listed in that matchup. All schedules are subject to change based on the whims of Mother Nature, ESPN, and extra innings in preceding games. All times are Eastern and PM unless noted. Beware of dog.
