The 2023 NCAA Division I baseball tournament was the 76th edition of the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship. The 64-team tournament began on Friday, June 2, as part of the 2023 NCAA Division I baseball season and ended with the 2023 Men's College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, which began on June 16 and ended on June 26. LSU defeated Florida in the best-of-three final series to win their seventh national championship in program history and the 51st national title in all sports.
The 64 participating NCAA Division I college baseball teams were selected from an eligible 300 teams. 30 teams were awarded automatic bids as champions of their conferences, and 34 teams were selected at-large by the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee. Teams were then divided into sixteen regionals of four teams, each of which is conducted via a double-elimination tournament. Regional champions then faced each other in Super Regionals, a best-of-three-game series, to determine the eight participants in the Men's College World Series.
A total of 64 teams entered the tournament, with 31 of them receiving an automatic bid by either winning their conference's tournament or by finishing in first place in their conference. The remaining 33 bids were at-large, with selections extended by the NCAA Selection Committee.
The sixteen national seeds were announced on the Selection Show on May 29. Teams in italics advanced to the Super Regionals. Teams in bold advanced to the 2023 Men's College World Series.
One of the national seeds, Kentucky, faced serious logistical challenges due to multiple events scheduled in the area during the regional weekend:
- The Railbird Music Festival, headlined by country stars Tyler Childers and Zach Bryan, was held at The Red Mile, a harness racing track in Lexington.
- The Kentucky High School Athletic Association held its state baseball and softball tournaments, as well as its state championship meets in track and field, in Lexington. The softball and track events were held on the Kentucky campus; the early rounds of the baseball championship were played at a separate Lexington ballpark.
- The Great American Brass Band Festival, which typically draws more than 40,000 spectators, was held about 45 minutes' drive away in Danville.
The NCAA cleared Kentucky as a regional host due to the school's contingency plans. Three residence halls, all newer facilities with apartment-style accommodations located near the UK ballpark, were secured for use by participating teams. UK also secured hotel rooms an hour's drive away in Louisville for potential use. All participating teams, including Kentucky, were ultimately housed in the residence halls.
On May 28, the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee announced the sixteen regional host sites.
