FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Arkansas has punched its ticket to the NCAA Tournament for the 34th time in program history on Monday. Baum-Walker Stadium produces some of the best post-season atmosphere’s in all of college baseball.

Arkansas’ regional mates

The Razorbacks (41-16), the No. 3 national seed and top seed in the Fayetteville Regional. Arkansas is set to host second-seeded TCU (37-22) out of the Big 12. The Horned Frogs defeated the Razorbacks in February at the College Baseball Showdown in Arlington, Texas.

Third-seeded Arizona (33-24) have won nine of their last fourteen games. The Wildcats have marquee wins against USC, Tennessee, Michigan State, Stanford and Oregon State.

Fourth-seeded Santa Clara (35-18) made the NCAA Tournament fresh off a West Coast Conference Tournament Championship.

The Fayetteville Regional will take place from June 2-5 at Baum-Walker Stadium. Arkansas will open tournament play against Santa Clara at 2 p.m. Friday, June 5, on ESPN+.

Razorback Hosting History

Arkansas, hosting a regional for the 10th time in program history and for the fifth time since 2017, has won the last three regionals played at Baum-Walker Stadium, including 2018 (3-0 record), 2019 (3-0 record) and 2021 (3-1 record).

The winner of the Fayetteville Regional will play the winner of the Terre Haute Regional in a best-of-three-game super regional from June 9-11 or June 10-12. No. 14 national seed and top-seeded Indiana State (42-15) hosts second-seeded Iowa (42-14), third-seeded North Carolina (35-22) and fourth-seeded Wright State (39-21) in Terre Haute, Ind.

If Arkansas is to advance, the Hogs would maintain home-field advantage in the super regional round and host at Baum-Walker Stadium. It is the sixth time that the Hogs have earned home-field advantage and the fourth time since 2018.

The Razorbacks are one of a record-tying 10 SEC teams among this year’s NCAA Tournament field. Arkansas is joined by Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt.
