The 2024 Big 12 Conference baseball tournament will be held from May 21 through 25 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. The annual tournament determines the conference champion of the Division I Big 12 Conference for college baseball. The winner of the tournament will earn the league's automatic bid to the 2023 NCAA Division I baseball tournament.[2][3][4]
The tournament has been held since 1997, the inaugural year of the Big 12 Conference. Among current league members, Texas has won the most championships with five. Among original members, Kansas State has never won the event. Defending champion TCU won their fourth championship in 2023. Iowa State discontinued their program after the 2001 season without having won a title. Oklahoma State and Oklahoma both have three titles each.
Format and seeding[edit]
The top tent finishers from the regular season will be seeded one through ten, and will then play a two-bracket double-elimination tournament leading to a winner-take-all championship game.[5] The top two overall seeds will receive a first round bye.
