The 2016 Southland Conference Baseball Tournament will be held from May 20–23. The top eight regular season finishers of the league's ten teams will meet in the double-elimination tournament to be held at Constellation Field in Sugar Land, Texas. The winner of the tournament will earn the conference's automatic bid to the 2016 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament. Abilene Christian and Incarnate Word are ineligible for postseason play as they transition from Division II.[2]

The top eight finishers from the regular season, not including Abilene Christian or Incarnate Word, will be seeded one through eight. They will play a two bracket, double-elimination tournament, with the winner of each bracket meeting in a single championship final.

Every game of the tournament will be broadcast exclusively on ESPN3.[3]
