2026 Men's College World Series: Tuesday Schedule and Updates

The 2026 Men's College World Series is heating up, and Tuesday's games are crucial for the remaining teams. West Virginia and Troy face off in the first game, with the winner advancing to play North Carolina on Wednesday.

West Virginia is looking to break through against Troy's Cooper Ellingworth, who has kept the Mountaineers at bay so far. The Mountaineers have had some close calls, but they're determined to come out on top.

Troy, on the other hand, has had an impressive run in the regionals, winning four games in a row after losing their first game. They're looking to keep their momentum going and make it to the championship series.

The winner of today's game will have to beat North Carolina twice to reach the championship series. The Tar Heels are in a strong position, having started 2-0 in the tournament. Twenty-nine of the last 35 MCWS champions started 2-0, so the pressure is on for West Virginia and Troy.

Today's games are a couple of rematches, with West Virginia playing Troy at 2 p.m. ET and Georgia meeting Texas at 8 p.m. ET. The winners will advance to the semifinals, where they'll have to win twice to make it to the championship finals.

The bracket is taking shape, and the losers of today's games will be eliminated. The winners will move on to the semifinals, where they'll face off against the 2-0 teams in the bracket: North Carolina and Oklahoma.
