Men’s College World Series: LSU and Coastal Carolina advance to Final

The 2025 Men’s College World Series is underway from Omaha, Nebraska.

Eight teams arrived in Omaha with dreams of a College World Series title, after surviving both the Regionals and the Super Regionals. As with those two earlier rounds, the final two stages of the Men’s College World Series combine a double-elimination tournament with a best-of-three series to determine the winner.

The eight teams — Arizona, Coastal Carolina, Louisville, Oregon State, Murray State, UCLA, Arkansas, and LSU — are divided into two brackets: Bracket 1 and Bracket 2. They will use a double-elimination format to determine a winner from each bracket, and those two teams will square off in a best-of-three series to determine a champion.

Here are the two brackets, along with the schedule, TV information, and scores. For more coverage of the Men’s College World Series, Brian J. Pedersen from Arizona Desert Swarm is on the ground in Omaha, and he will have you covered all week long, from the full schedule, to the MLB prospects to watch, to a ranking of the eight teams left standing, and a reason each team can win the title.

Update (June 18): With their win over Louisville, Coastal Carolina has booked a spot in the Men’s College World Series Final series. They will face the winner of Bracket 2, which is down to LSU and Arkansas.

Update (June 19): LSU’s dramatic win over Arkansas punched their ticket to the Finals as the winner of Bracket 2.
