Arkansas baseball bracketology | Where Hogs stand in 2026 NCAA Tournament projections

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas baseball is at risk of going on the road for the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2022.

The No. 24 Razorbacks (27-15) have hosted a regional in seven of the last eight seasons, but with an RPI outside the top-20 and a .500 record in the SEC, there likely won't be any postseason action inside Baum-Walker Stadium this summer.

Arkansas got a key win on Tuesday, April 21, beating Missouri State 12-4 inside Baum-Walker Stadium. The Bears entered the game at No. 16 in the RPI, while the Hogs were No. 32.

There are five weeks remaining in the regular season, leaving time for a late-season surge. The Razorbcks will look to boost their resume in upcoming series against Missouri, Ole Miss, Oklahoma and Kentucky. Then, there's the SEC tournament before Selection Monday.

The NCAA Tournament begins May 29 with the College World Series scheduled to end June 22. Below is a look at where the Razorbacks stand in three postseason projections.

This group would be paired with the Corvallis Regional hosted by No. 8 Florida.

Baseball America also updated its projections on Tuesday and has the Hogs as a two-seed in the Chapel Hill Regional hosted by No. 3 overall seed North Carolina.
