<div class="payload-richtext">Graphic courtesy of UCLA Athletics ROSEMONT, Ill. – Top-ranked UCLA won the Big Ten Baseball Championship outright on Sunday with a 13-11 victory over Michigan State in East Lansing. The Bruins rallied from an eight-run deficit over the last three innings to remain undefeated in conference play at 24-0. The win, coupled with losses by Nebraska and Oregon, gave the Bruins a Big Ten regular season title for the second-straight season. UCLA (43-4) claims the Big Ten Championship with two weeks left on the season. The Bruins have already set the Big Ten record for consecutive conference wins in a season (21) and own the second-longest streak all-time for conference wins (see list below): Consecutive conference wins (over multiple seasons): 27 – Illinois (1909-11) 26 – UCLA (2025-26) 25 – Michigan (1918-20)</div>

 TOURNAMENT BRACKET
 </a> ROSEMONT, Ill. – The Big Ten Conference announced today that tickets are on sale for the 2026 Big Ten Conference Baseball Tournament Presented by IFS.ai, which takes place May 19-24 at Charles Schwab Field Omaha in Omaha, Neb. All-session tickets can be purchased by clicking <a href="https://am.ticketmaster.com/meca/buy/quickbuy?id=MjM=">
 here
 </a>. Single-game tickets will be available on May 13. The Big Ten postseason tournament, featuring 12 teams, will have a new look this spring. The first three days of the tournament will feature double-elimination brackets, pairing eight teams seeded No. 5-12. Four games will be held on Tuesday, May 19, and Wednesday, May 20, and two games contested on Thursday, May 21, to produce four qualifiers. The four advancing teams will face seeds No. 1-4 in single-elimination quarterfinals on Friday, May 22. Semifinals take place Saturday, May 23, followed by the championship game on Sunday, May 24. “The new tournament format for the Big Ten is an important and positive change for our conference,” said Rutgers Head Coach Steve Owens, chair of the Big Ten coaches group. “The double-elimination portion guarantees teams at least two meaningful games with a chance to advance to the single-elimination quarterfinals. At the same time, the single-elimination portion rewards the top four teams from the regular season and sets up an exciting week for players and fans alike at Charles Schwab Field.” All 17 tournament games will be carried live by the Big Ten Network. The tournament champion receives the conference’s automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament. Nebraska has captured the last two tournament titles, drawing over 15,000 spectators to last year’s final. Three Big Ten teams are currently ranked in the national polls. UCLA is the consensus No. 1-ranked team while USC is listed at No. 10 and Oregon at No. 13 by Perfect Game. UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky is back for his junior season after earning three national player of the year awards in 2025. Charles Schwab Field Omaha will be hosting the Big Ten Tournament for the ninth time since 2014.</div>
