On Tuesday, No. 23 Boston College baseball (22-11, 9-6 Atlantic Coast) will host UMass (6-17, 2-13 Mid-American) at Harrington Athletics Village in Brighton, Mass., for the first round of the 2026 Baseball Beanpot.
First pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET.
Unlike the normal Beanpot, which is the annual single-elimination men’s hockey tournament between BC, Boston University, Harvard, and Northeastern at TD Garden, the Baseball Beanpot includes UMass because BU’s baseball program was cut following the 1995 season.
The first Baseball Beanpot was played in 1990 at Fenway Park, and the Eagles’ 15 total championships ranks first among the four schools by a sizable margin — Northeastern is second with eight championships, the Minutemen are third with seven, and Harvard is last with five.
However, the Huskies have captured the last two Baseball Beanpots, and BC’s last title came in 2023 under former head coach Mike Gambino.
In 2025, the championship game returned to Fenway for the first time since 2019. Northeastern bested Harvard, 5-4, while the Eagles demolished UMass, 13-6, in the consolation game.
BC holds a 19-11 record against the Minutemen all-time, and its overall Beanpot record is 43-18-1.
Below is all the information on how to watch Tuesday’s matchup.
