Arkansas College World Series
  • Arkansas pays out $4000 for every $100 bet to win the 2026 College World Series

  • Arkansas is the only #2 seed favored to win their region

  • The state's women's team is also in their first ever Women’s College World Series

Unlike the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament where there are four regions with 16 teams in each region, in the CWS there are 16 regions with four teams in each region.

There are 16 #1 seeds, 16 #2 seeds, etc, etc.

The oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag have opened odds for each region. A few things caught my eye:

  1. Arkansas is the only #2 seed favored to win their region
  2. St. Mary’s the #2 seed in the LA Region, has the worst odds to win its region
  3. Washington State has the worst odds of all #3 seeds

Arkansas pays out $4000 for every $100 bet to win this year's College World Series.

The Arkansas Razorbacks are the No. 2 seed in the Lawrence Regional for the 2026 NCAA Tournament, opening play against No. 3 seed Missouri State on Friday, May 29, at 5 p.m. The regional is hosted by Kansas at Hoglund Ballpark, with the winner advancing to the Super Regionals on the road to Omaha.

Arkansas is Red Hot in The Women's College World Series Too

For the first time in school history, Arkansas softball is headed to the Women’s College World Series. 

On May 23, 2026,  the No. 5 nationally ranked Razorbacks took down No. 12 Duke, 10-2 in run-rule fashion (5 innings) to win the Fayetteville Super Regional and advance to the next round of the NCAA Tournament.
