With the the college basketball season now over, many NCAA sports fans are looking ahead to the spring championship season.

Those playoff seasons, which are mostly played in May and June, include more niche sports like lacrosse. The most popular offering of the group is, of course, college baseball.

The NCAA baseball season culminates with a playoff format that includes 16 different four-team regionals, which eventually plays all the way down to an eight-team College World Series.

College baseball is quickly growing into one of the most popular spring sports, particularly in the South. As a result, this is one online sports betting market that’s exploding with new players in 2026.
