WVU Baseball Learns the Rest of Field in Morgantown Regional

Already aware they’re hosting, the WVU baseball program learned who will join them in the rest of the bracket of the Morgantown Regional on Monday afternoon.

No. 16 overall seed West Virginia will welcome Wake Forest (the No. 2 seed in the bracket), Kentucky and Binghamton as the makeup of the rest of the regional field at Kendrick Family Ballpark.

There was some speculation about Pitt making it in and being placed in Morgantown, creating the opportunity for a postseason Backyard Brawl, but they were not selected.

Despite finishing as both the regular season and Big 12 Tournament runner-up, Steve Sabins’ 2026 WVU baseball team accomplished one of their main goals. They have been awarded the right to host the NCAA Regional Round in Morgantown.

Serving as host for the second time in the modern format (2019), West Virginia will play their regional games at Kendrick Family Ballpark with a spot in the Super Regional on the line.

The Mountaineers entered the postseason at 39-14 and currently ranked No. 9 nationally.

WVU baseball hosting comes after the women’s basketball program hosted the opening regional of the Women’s NCAA Tournament, eventually falling to Kentucky in the second game.

Note: WVU also served as host of the District III Championship (a best-of-three series against Wake Forest) in 1955.
