After Florida bested Wake Forest on Monday night in Game 3 to close out the Super Regionals, the field for the College World Series is officially set.
The eight teams that will compete to become national champions prepare to meet, double-elimination style, in Omaha at TD Ameritrade Park are Oregon State, Texas A&M, Cal State Fullerton, Louisville, Florida State, TCU, LSU and Florida.
The finals will be held in a best-of-three format and will take place at the end of the World Series, which will run in its entirety from June 17 through June 26-27/28, depending on whether the series reaches a potential Game 3. 
All the information you need to know to watch the full CWS is below, including the TV schedule and live-stream information. The full schedule can be found at NCAA.com, as well as the interactive bracket.
2017 College World Series
Where: TD Ameritrade Park, Omaha, Nebraska
When: June 17-26-27/28
TV: ESPN/ESPN2
Live Stream: WatchESPN
The CWS action kicks off on Saturday, June 17, when No. 1 national seed Oregon State (54-4) takes on Cal State Fullerton (39-22) at 3 p.m. ET on ESPN.
This is the 18th appearance in the College World Series for the Cal State Fullerton Titans. According to ESPN Stats & Information, only six teams have made it to the CWS more frequently. 
Then, in Game 2 of the CWS on that same day, No. 4 national seed LSU (48-17) and Florida State (45-21) will square off at 8 p.m. ET. That game will be broadcast on ESPN. 
The Florida Gators, who beat Wake Forest 3-0 to advance to their sixth trip to the College World Series in the last eight years, are definitely a favorite to advance to the best of three championship series. 
The Gators' first game will take place on Sunday, June 18, as the second game of that day's doubleheader, when they face TCU at 7 p.m. on ESPN2. 
It was a good day on Monday for Florida pitcher Alex Faedo. Not only did he record a two-inning save to send his team to the College World Series, but he was drafted in the MLB draft by the Detroit Tigers. 
Before Florida can step up to the plate, however, the action on Sunday will kick off with the clash between No. 7 national seed Louisville (52-10) and Texas A&M (41-21) at 2 p.m. 
Whichever two teams lose on Saturday will face each other on Monday, June 19, at 1 p.m. Meanwhile, the victors from Saturday's action will play later that day at 6 p.m. 
Likewise, the losers from Sunday's games will face off on Tuesday, and the winners will meet one another that evening, at the same times as Monday's games. 
From there, play advances to a best-of-three format in the CWS Finals, to begin on Monday, June 26, and continue into Tuesday. If required, the third game of the series will be held on June 28.
