LOS ANGELES – The No. 1-ranked UCLA baseball team was selected as the No. 1 national seed in the 2026 NCAA Tournament and will host a regional at Jackie Robinson Stadium for the second straight season. This marks the second time the Bruins have earned the number one overall season. UCLA was also the number one overall seed in 2019.

UCLA (51-6 28-2 Big Ten) earned its 27th NCAA Tournament berth and 15th under Head Coach John Savage. The Bruins return to the postseason for the 16th time in the last 22 seasons, with Savage leading them to tournament appearances in 15 of his 21 years at the helm (excluding 2020).
The Bruins' opening game of the regional will be on Friday, May 29, at 12 p.m. PT against Saint Mary's, the West Coast Conference Tournament Champions, and will be broadcast on ESPNU. Virginia Tech will be the two-seed and Cal Poly will be the three seed.

In 14 trips to the postseason at UCLA, Savage has compiled a 51-29 record (.638 winning percentage), recording the most postseason victories of any head coach in program history. With Savage at the program's helm, UCLA advanced to the College World Series in 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2025. The Bruins reached the best-of-three championship series in 2010 and 2013. UCLA defeated Mississippi State, two games to none, at the 2013 College World Series.
