NCAA softball live bracket 2025: Updated selections for regionals in Road to Women’s College World Series

By | May 11, 2025

Oklahoma has claimed the last four NCAA softball titles, but that all may change this year.

Sixty-four teams across the country are waiting to hear their name called for the 2025 NCAA softball tournament. Of those, only eight teams can fulfill their dreams and head to the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City.

It all begins with regionals on May 16. Four teams will go face off across 16 sites with double-elimination in play. Winners advance to Super Regionals, where they play a best-of-three series. Then, it’s time for the final stage. 

It’s going to be one of the toughest tournaments yet with big swings and big upsets bound to happen. First things first, though, teams needed to get into the tournament.

The Sporting News is tracking live updates from the 2025 NCAA softball selection show. Scroll below to see the complete bracket.
