NCAA Women’s Softball 2023: Team Brackets, Format, Schedule, Regional tickets

NCAA Women’s Softball 2023: The WCWS is one of the most prestigious softball tournaments in the world. It features some of the best college softball players in the country and attracts a large number of fans each year. The WCWS is also a major television event, with games broadcast on ESPN networks.

There are 64 teams participating in the NCAA Women’s Softball Championship. 32 teams gain automatic entry into the tournament while the other 32 are selected by the Division I Softball committee. Of this field of 64, 16 teams will receive “national seeds” and will be placed in one of the assigned regional sites, often the home field of each national seed.

Typically, the highest-seeded team has the privilege of hosting the best-of-three series, which serves as the gateway to the Women’s College World Series. In this prestigious event, the final eight teams meet at USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City. The WCWS consists of two distinct sections. Initially, the competition mirrors the regional round, as teams are divided into two groups of four and face each other in a double-elimination bracket. The victors of each category then face off in a championship series, reminiscent of the super regional stage, where they compete in a best-of-three series. In the end, the triumphant team in the WCWS is honored as national champion.

The winners of the regionals advanced to the Super Regionals, where they played a best-of-three series to determine the eight teams that advanced to the WCWS.
