The 2025 College World Series is officially underway in Omaha, and baseball fans are in for a thrilling ride. This year’s tournament marks a rare moment in NCAA baseball history. For the first time since 1957, none of the teams from the previous year have returned. It’s a completely fresh field of eight, each with their own compelling stories, powerhouse talent, and dreams of a national title.

Among the most talked-about teams entering this year’s College World Series is Coastal Carolina. The Chanticleers arrive in Omaha riding a jaw-dropping 23-game win streak and are determined to prove they’re no Cinderella. In fact, Coastal Carolina has already written their own fairy tale before—winning the College World Series in 2016. Now, nearly a decade later, they’re back, but with more experience, more poise, and a clear goal: to make history once again.

Coastal Carolina’s opening matchup brings added drama, as they face Arizona—a rematch of that unforgettable 2016 CWS final. The Wildcats are returning to Omaha with redemption on their minds, hoping to reverse the outcome of that classic title battle. This clash of past finalists sets the stage for what promises to be one of the most emotional and high-stakes games of the tournament.

But the Chanticleers aren’t just relying on momentum. Their roster is stacked with disciplined hitters, confident pitchers, and postseason-tested leadership. Analysts have praised their depth, particularly in the bullpen, and their ability to handle pressure situations with maturity. They may be riding a win streak, but their focus is clearly on the bigger picture—a national championship.

Looking beyond Coastal Carolina, the rest of the field in Omaha is just as compelling. Murray State, for instance, is making its first-ever appearance in the College World Series. The Racers punched their ticket to Omaha with a clutch Game 3 win over Duke, and their underdog story is captivating fans around the country. UCLA, Oregon State, Louisville, and Arizona round out the bracket alongside two SEC giants: LSU and Arkansas.

The presence of LSU and Arkansas means the tournament won’t be short on power hitting, elite pitching, and SEC drama. Both teams are considered heavy favorites by many analysts. Arkansas, in particular, has been dominant all season, and their win over defending national champion Tennessee in the Super Regionals solidified their status as a serious title contender.

The tournament began on June 13, with Arizona facing off against Coastal Carolina in the early game, followed by Oregon State versus Louisville later in the day. The following day brings more action as UCLA takes on Murray State, and Arkansas meets LSU in a high-octane SEC showdown. The double-elimination format ensures that no team is out after just one loss, but every game carries massive weight as teams fight their way toward the best-of-three championship series, which begins June 21.

All games are being played at Charles Schwab Field Omaha, a modern ballpark with a seating capacity of up to 35,000 and a reputation for electric atmospheres during College World Series week. The venue, built on Kentucky bluegrass and known for its downtown Omaha location, has hosted the CWS since 2011, replacing the iconic Rosenblatt Stadium.

For Coastal Carolina fans, the stakes couldn’t be higher. A win this year would cement their place as a true powerhouse in college baseball, moving beyond their 2016 miracle run and into sustained elite territory. Their current win streak, the experience of facing high-caliber opponents, and the motivation of unfinished business all combine to make them one of the most dangerous teams in Omaha.
