NCAA softball tournament 2025: WCWS schedule, how to watch

The road to the 2025 Women’s College World Series has officially begun, with the regional round loaded with thrills and drama.

Liberty pulled off the biggest shocker, knocking out the No. 1 overall seed, Texas A&M. The Aggies are the first No. 1 seed that failed to reach the super regionals since the format began in 2005, and the Flames are in the supers for the first time in program history.

When the 64-team field was set, the SEC had nine regional hosts and 14 teams in the field, the most for a single conference in tournament history. The ACC had a conference-record nine teams in the field and three hosts.

Here’s the complete schedule, with results added as games wrap up, and how to watch.
