ESPN will present more than 800 NCAA baseball games during the 2019 regular season across ESPN networks, with 17 college conferences highlighted in ESPN’s industry-leading coverage. During the postseason, on top of carrying five conference championship games and the entire Southeastern Conference tournament, 153 games will be telecast across ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNEWS, SEC Network and the Longhorn Network and available on the ESPN App. In addition, the ESPN App will exclusively stream more than 450 games in 2019.

Nearly 75 percent of the games on ESPN networks include a team in the USA TODAY Coaches Preseason Top 25*, while 53 games feature the preseason top 10 and 42 games highlight at least one top five team. Twenty-one of the preseason Top 25 teams will appear on ESPN networks during the season.

ESPN is coming off one of the most-watched NCAA Division I Baseball Championships in history, boasting multi-year viewership highs throughout the Road to Omaha. The three-game 2018 NCAA CWS Finals was the most-watched three-game championship series since 2014.
