Top overall seed UCLA leads the 2026 field and will host one of 16 four-team, double-elimination regionals beginning Friday, with the winners advancing to super regionals next weekend.
While the Bruins have been ranked No. 1 wire-to-wire this season, nothing is guaranteed in this tournament and they know they’ll have to take it step by step. ACC champion Georgia Tech, SEC champion Georgia and Auburn round out the top four national seeds.
The Bulldogs and Tigers are among seven SEC teams set to host regionals this weekend, teeing the conference up to continue its dominance. Five different SEC schools have combined to win the last six national titles, and nothing illustrates the league’s depth more than LSU, which has won two of the last three NCAA championships, missing out on the tournament altogether this year.
That means a new national champion is guaranteed in 2026, and it all starts this week. Here’s all you need to know to watch every game.
