The 2016 NCAA Division I baseball tournament began on Friday, June 3, 2016, as part of the 2016 NCAA Division I baseball season. The 64-team, double-elimination tournament concluded with the 2016 College World Series (CWS) in Omaha, Nebraska, starting on June 18, 2016, and ending on June 30, 2016.https://www.ncaa.com/championships/baseball/d1/championship-home NCAA Baseball Division I Championship November 30, 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20140220015909/http://www.ncaa.com/championships/baseball/d1/championship-home February 20, 2014 dead mdy-all The 64 participating NCAA Division I college baseball teams were selected out of 298 eligible teams.http://web1.ncaa.org/onlineDir/exec/sponsorship NCAA Sports Sponsorship Web1.ncaa.org 2016-06-27 https://web.archive.org/web/20101230214415/http://web1.ncaa.org/onlineDir/exec/sponsorship 2010-12-30 dead Thirty-one teams were awarded an automatic bid, as champions of their conferences; the remaining 33 teams were selected at-large by the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee.
Teams were divided into sixteen regionals of four teams, which conducted a double-elimination tournament. Regional champions faced each other in Super Regionals, a best-of-three-game series to determine the eight participants of the College World Series. The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) set a conference record and tied the all-time mark of having ten teams in the championship field.https://www.ncaa.com/news/baseball/article/2016-05-30/ncaa-division-i-baseball-committee-announces-field-64-teams NCAA Division I Baseball Committee announces the field of 64 teams NCAA.com 2016-05-31 2016-06-27 A tournament-high seven regional hosts came from the Southeastern Conference (SEC), followed by six of the ten ACC schools; however, only Miami (ACC) and Florida (SEC) advanced to Omaha, and they were the first and second teams eliminated, respectively. For the first time since the tournament expanded from 48 teams in 1999, the NCAA did not select any Pac-12 schools to host a regional, and Lubbock, Texas, (Texas Tech) was the westernmost regional host city picked by the selection committee.http://www.oregonlive.com/beavers/index.ssf/2016/05/ncaa_baseball_tournament_2016.html NCAA Baseball Tournament 2016 regional sites named; no Pac-12 hosts for first time since expansion OregonLive.com 2016-05-29 2016-06-27
In the CWS after Texas Tech lost to Big 12 rival TCU, none of the three national seeds who had reached Omaha had won their opening game. Tech eventually became the fourth team to be eliminated. While Oklahoma State and TCU advanced through the winners' bracket to set up a possible all–Big 12 championship, Arizona and Coastal Carolina won both elimination games to advance to the best-of-three final series.
With each team winning a game in the championship series to force a winner-take-all Game 3, the tournament reached the maximum of 17 games for the first time; the finals expanded in 2003 to a best-of-three format as opposed to a single, winner-take-all championship game.https://www.si.com/mlb/2016/06/29/college-world-series-finals-arizona-coastal-carolina-game-2 Coastal Carolina forces winner-take-all Game 3 with Arizona in CWS Sports Illustrated 29 June 2016 4 July 2016 Coastal Carolina won the deciding game, 4–3, becoming the first team since 1956 to win the title in its first CWS appearance.http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-college-world-series-20160630-snap-story.html Coastal Carolina defeats Arizona, 4–3, to win first College World Series title Los Angeles Times 30 June 2016 4 July 2016 Coastal Carolina won six elimination games in NCAA post-season play – one in a Regional, three in the CWS double-elimination bracket, and two in the Championship Series.http://deadspin.com/coastal-carolinas-college-world-series-title-was-as-thr-1782925929 Early Runs Push Cats Past OSU Redford Patrick 30 June 2016 Deadspin 1 July 2016 The runner-up, Arizona, won six elimination games – three in a Regional and three in the CWS double-elimination bracket, but lost their 7th, the last game of the Championship Series.http://www.arizonawildcats.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=30700&ATCLID=211036491 Early Runs Push Cats Past OSU 25 June 2016 University of Arizona 1 July 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20160702050858/http://www.arizonawildcats.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=211036491&DB_OEM_ID=30700 2016-07-02 dead
This was the first, and as of 2025, only, national championship won by the Coastal Carolina athletic program in any sport. In addition, this remains the only team national championship won in any sport by a member of the Big South Conference (hours after Coastal Carolina won the title game, they officially left the Big South and became members of the Sun Belt Conference.)

ESPN carried every game from the Regionals, Super Regionals, and College World Series across its networks. During the Regionals, ESPN offered a dedicated channel, ESPN Bases Loaded (carried in the same channel allotments as its "Goal Line" and "Buzzer Beater" services for football and basketball), which carried live look-ins and analysis across all games in progress, hosted by Brendan Fitzgerald and Matt Schick with Kyle Peterson providing analysis.http://espnmediazone.com/us/press-releases/2016/05/espn-carry-every-ncaa-division-baseball-regional-matchup-beginning-friday/ ESPN To Carry Every NCAA Division I Baseball Regional Matchup Beginning Friday ESPN Media Zone 2016-05-30
The final game of the tournament aired on ESPNU, as the NCAA scheduled the game for an afternoon start, and there were scheduling conflicts with ESPN and ESPN2 due to UEFA Euro 2016 and the 2016 Wimbledon Championships.Swing And A Miss: ESPN Did Not Have Much Say On Start Time For CWS Final Game http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Daily/Issues/2016/06/30/Media/ESPN-CWS.aspx Sports Business Daily 30 June 2016
