The No. 14 national seed Tennessee Volunteers open their NCAA tournament postseason run in the Knoxville regional on Friday night at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
The Vols are hosting postseason baseball for the fourth in the past five years and will kick things off against the No. 4 seed in the Knoxville regional, Miami (OH). The Redhawks won the MAC tournament last week to earn an automatic bid into the field.
Also participating in the Knoxville regional is No. 2 seed Wake Forest - which earned an at-large spot out of the ACC - and No. 3 seed Cincinnati - which also was an at-large selection out of the Big 12.

This will be Tennessee's 15th appearance in the NCAA tournament and its ninth time hosting a regional at Lindsey Nelson Stadium. The Vols have won all five of their regionals in Knoxville since the tournament switched to its current four-team regional format in 1999 and are unbeaten (12-0) in their last four home regionals. In those five prior home regionals (2001, 2005, 2021, 2023, 2024), UT has posted a 15-1 overall record and has gone on to advance to the College World Series in four of those five seasons.
Should Tennessee advance out of the Knoxville regional, it would take on the winner of the Fayetteville regional next weekend in a best-of-three super regional.
