The 2023 Sun Belt Conference baseball tournament was held at Riverwalk Stadium in Montgomery, Alabama from May 23 to May 28, 2023. The tournament used a double-elimination format. The winner of the tournament earned the Sun Belt Conference's automatic bid to the 2023 NCAA Division I baseball tournament.

Seeding

[edit]

In a change from previous years, the top ten teams (based on conference results) from the conference earn invites to the tournament. The teams will be seeded based on conference winning percentage, with the bottom four seeds competing in a play-in round. The remaining eight teams will then play a two bracket, double-elimination tournament. The winner of each bracket will play a championship final.[2]
