Men’s College World Series 2023: Bracket, schedule, how to watch, and scores

If the first three days of the 2023 Men’s College World Series are any indication, we are in for a fantastic tournament this year.

Out of the first six games, five have been decided by just a single run. Only LSU’s 6-3 victory over Tennessee — powered in large part by starting pitcher Paul Skenes, a likely top-three draft pick — was decided by more than a single run.

That is the first time that has happened in MCWS history.

The field is split into two brackets, with TCU, Oral Roberts, Florida and Virginia in Bracket 1, and Wake Forest, LSU, Stanford, and Tennessee in Bracket 2. Both sides will square off, double-elimination style, with one winner from each side advancing to the best-of-three College World Series finals.

Florida became the first team in the tournament with a pair of wins, with victories over Virginia on Friday, and then Oral Roberts on Sunday night.

With their loss to TCU on Sunday, Virginia became the first team eliminated from the 2023 Men’s College World Series.

On Monday the four teams from Bracket 2 are in action. Tennessee squares off against Stanford at 2:00 p.m. Eastern in an Elimination Game, while LSU and Wake Forest tangle at 7:00 p.m. Eastern.

Here are the teams, the brackets, the scores, and how to watch.
