The 2024 Phillips 66 Big 12 Baseball Tournament begins on Tuesday, May 21 and concludes with a 6 p.m. championship game on Saturday, May 25. The entire tournament will be played at Globe Life Field in Arlington, and single-session tickets are now available.

This year’s format has 10 teams under double-elimination rules. TCU Baseball, which has had tremendous postseason success under third-year coach Kirk Saarloos, enters the tournament as the No. 9 seed. They will play the No. 4 seed West Virginia Mountaineers on Tuesday at 12:30 p.m.

If the Horned Frogs win, they’d play the No. 1 seed Oklahoma Sooners on Wednesday, May 22 at 12:30 p.m. IOtherwise, they’d play the loser of Tuesday’s Kansas State University vs. University of Kansas match up, on Wednesday at 9 a.m.

Once they record two losses, they’re gone. The Horned Frogs don’t need to win the Big 12 to advance — right now, they are projected to be a NCAA College World Series regional candidate.
