The Regionals will start on Friday with several games being featured throughout the day on ESPN+. For the Morgantown Regional, Wake Forest and Kentucky will play first on Friday followed by West Virginia and Binghamton on Friday afternoon.
Here is a breakdown of how the seeds are, times and the bracket.
2026 NCAA Morgantown Regional Schedule
Friday, May 29
Game 1: #2 Wake Forest (38-19) vs. #3 Kentucky (31-21) at noon (ESPN2)
Game 2: #1 West Virginia (39-14) vs. #4 Binghamton (30-21) at 5 p.m. (ESPN+)
Saturday, May 30 (TV-TBA)_
Game 3: Loser Game 1 vs. Loser Game 2, TBA
Game 4: Winner Game 1 vs. Winner Game 2, TBA
Sunday, May 31 (TV-TBA)
Game 5: Loser Game 4 vs. Winner Game 3, TBA
Game 6: Winner Game 4 vs. Winner Game 5, TBA
Monday, June 1 (TV-TBA)
Game 7: (If necessary) Winner Game 6 vs. Loser Game 6, TBA
All times are local and subject to change.
Binghamton enters winners of seven of its last nine games.
West Virginia enters after getting blown out in the Big 12 Championship game against Kansas, but is winners of seven of its last nine as well.
Kentucky comes in riding a three-game skid with a SEC Tournament loss to Vanderbilt. The Wildcats in its last 10 games are just winners of four of those games.
Wake Forest comes in as winners of its last eight out of 10 games but is riding a two-game skid with losses to Duke to end the season and Pitt in the ACC Tournament.
The winner of the Morgantown Regional will play the winner of top-seeded Los Angeles Regional.
Here is how that bracket looks out west.
Los Angeles Regional hosted by UCLA
#1 UCLA (51-6) vs. #4 Saint Mary’s (CA) (34-25), 3 p.m., ESPNU
#2 Virginia Tech (30-24) vs. #3 Cal Poly (36-22), 8 p.m., ESPN+
UCLA is odds in favorite to win that regional. If by chance UCLA were to lose its regional and let’s say Virginia Tech, Cal Poly or Saint Mary’s won that regional and West Virginia wins its regional then one of those three teams would travel to Morgantown to play in a Super Regional where the winner would advance to Omaha.
