The 2021 NCAA Division I baseball tournament was the 74th edition of the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship. The 64-team tournament began on Friday, June 4, 2021, as part of the 2021 NCAA Division I baseball season and concluded with the 2021 College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, which started on June 19 and ended on June 30.[1] Mississippi State defeated Vanderbilt in the best-of-three final series to win their first national championship in program history.
The 64 participating NCAA Division I college baseball teams were selected out of an eligible 299 teams. There were 30[a] teams awarded an automatic bid as champions of their conferences, and 34 teams were selected at-large by the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee. Teams were divided into sixteen regionals of four teams, each of which conducted a double-elimination tournament. Regional champions then faced each other in Super Regionals, a best-of-three game series, to determine the eight participants in the College World Series.[1]
Grand Canyon,[3] NJIT,[4] Norfolk State[5] and Presbyterian[6] made their NCAA tournament debuts after winning their first conference tournaments in program history. Nevada qualified for the tournament for the first time since 2000,[7] Rider qualified for the first time since 2010[8] and Charlotte qualified for the first time since 2011.[9] Auburn and Louisville were the lone teams from the 2019 College World Series field to fail to qualify.
