For the third time in four years, the College World Series finals will feature a showdown between two SEC teams. No. 1 Tennessee and No. 3 Texas A&M will face off in Game 1 on Saturday night at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska. This historic moment marks the first time that Texas A&M has appeared in the College World Series final in its 130-year history, despite having seven previous appearances.
Tennessee, on the other hand, was the CWS runner-up back in 1951 and has failed to win a championship since then. After several unsuccessful attempts in recent years, including two appearances in the previous three seasons, one of these teams will finally achieve their first national title.
The game will start at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday and will be broadcast live on ESPN by Karl Ravech, Kyle Peterson, Chris Burke, and Kris Budden. Fans can also stream the game online through FuboTV.

In summary, Game 1 of this year’s College World Series features an all-SEC showdown between No. 1 Tennessee and No. 3 Texas A&M at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha.
