OXFORD — Ole Miss baseball fell short of hosting a regional at Swayze Field.
The 16 teams that earned the hosting seeds for the 2026 NCAA Tournament regionals were announced May 24. The Rebels were not in that group.
Ole Miss will be on the road to play in a regional beginning May 29. They will not be sent to a regional with an SEC team as host, which means their options are: Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Oregon, Southern Miss, Kansas, Nebraska, UCLA, West Virginia and Florida State.
The Rebels (36-21) are likely slated to earn a No. 2 seed, according to the latest projections. The bracket will be announced on May 25 (11 a.m., ESPN2).
Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco has led Ole Miss to the NCAA Tournament in 19 of his 25 seasons leading the program. The Rebels have reached super regionals eight times and made it to the College World Series twice.
The Rebels did manage to earn a host bid in the 2025 NCAA Tournament, but it didn't lead to a super regional appearance. Ole Miss lost to No. 4 Murray State in the Oxford Regional championship.
The Rebels are No. 16 in RPI as of May 24.
Ole Miss went 15-15 in SEC play and is 14-17 in Quad 1 games. The Rebels are 3-3 in Quad 2 games, 5-1 in Quad 3 games and 14-0 in Quad 4 games.
