The Summit League baseball tournament is the conference baseball championship of the NCAA Division I's Summit League. The top four finishers in the regular season of the conference's seven teams advance to the double-elimination tournament, which in 2026 will make its first trip to Koch Diamond in St. Paul, Minnesota. The winner of the tournament receives an automatic berth to the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship.
