NCAA men’s golf championships 2026: Field, schedule, and how to watch

Auburn headlines NCAA D1 men's golf Athens regional
No. 1 ranked Auburn men's golf is the top seed in the NCAA D1 Athens regional and head coach Nick Clinard said he's very proud of all his young team has accomplished this season.

Six regional winners have been crowned but the journey to the top has barely even begun. Just ask defending champion Oklahoma State.

Thirty of the best teams in college golf converge on Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California, for the stroke-play portion of 2026 NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championships later this week.

A final day of 18 holes of stroke play Monday, June 1, determines the top eight teams that will advance to match play as well as the 72-hole individual champion.

The team national champion will come out of the match-play format that consists of quarterfinals and semifinals Tuesday, June 2, followed by finals Wednesday, June 3.

Here’s how to watch the six-day extravaganza on Golf Channel and the list of teams who will be vying for this year’s national title:
