After the completion of the regular season today, the seeding for the 2026 USA South Baseball Tournament has been determined. The tournament consists of the top-six teams in the Conference and is scheduled to begin on Thursday, April 30th with two three-team double-elimination tournaments hosted by the two top-seeds (#1 Greensboro and #2 Pfeiffer).
There are several tournament scenarios which may play out depending on how many teams remain after the first day, therefore the bracket will change and be updated accordingly.
The winners of the three-team tournaments will advance to the best-of-three championship series to take place the following weekend. That series will be hosted by the highest-remaining seed.
