The Auburn Tigers have been tabbed as a host program for the upcoming Regional Round of the NCAA Baseball Tournament. Manager Butch Thompson's Tigers earned a host spot for the third time in four years, reclaiming the position after a brief hiatus in 2024.

Auburn is one of seven SEC teams to host a regional round. The crop of conference foes, which makes up nearly half (7) of the 16 regional hosts, includes Georgia, Texas, LSU, Arkansas, Tennessee, Ole Miss, and SEC Tournament Champion Vanderbilt.

After a 38-17 regular season campaign, Auburn fell in its first round SEC Tournament matchup against Texas A&M earlier this week. The opening round loss came after the Tigers were defeated twice in their final series of the season against Ole Miss, putting Ike Irish and company in an almost identical spot to their counterparts on the hardwood.

Auburn basketball, like Auburn baseball, led the country in Quadrant 1 victories before dropping three of it's last four matchups before the NCAA Tournament. Like Bruce Pearl's basketball squad, Auburn baseball will look to flush a rough end to the regular season and parlay their regular season success into a deep tournament run.

Auburn's opponents in the Regional Round will be announced Monday, May 26 during the 2025 D1 Baseball Selection Show at 11 AM CST on ESPN2.
