Georgia and Texas will open the College World Series in Omaha on Saturday night, with first pitch set for 8 p.m. ET at Charles Schwab Field Omaha. will carry the game, and viewers can also stream it on the app with a TV login or through Fubo.
That is why Texas vs Georgia baseball is drawing so much attention now: the matchup is the first game of the round, and it brings together the No. 3 seed and the No. 6 seed under prime-time lights. Georgia has not been back to Omaha since 2008, while Texas is back after a three-season College World Series drought, making this an immediate test of how both teams arrived here and what they can do next.
Georgia’s offense has leaned heavily on Daniel Jackson, who has 31 home runs and a 1.329 OPS. Those are numbers that stand out in any tournament, and they stand out even more here because Texas brings a lineup built around five 50-plus game starters hitting over.300 this year. Carson Tinney is part of that Texas group behind the plate, giving the Longhorns another experienced piece in a field where every edge matters.
The game also carries the kind of contrast that makes this stage interesting. Georgia enters as the highest remaining seed at No. 3, but Texas has largely dismantled every team it has played in the last week-plus. That does not settle anything before the first pitch, but it does show why the opening game in Omaha feels less like a formality than a straight fight over who can control the tempo early and keep it.
What comes next is simple and immediate: Georgia and Texas meet on Saturday, June 13, and the winner begins its College World Series path with a result that will shape how the rest of the bracket is read. For Jackson, for Tinney and for two programs with different recent histories in Omaha, the first answer arrives at 8 p.m. ET.
