Eight Teams Battle for NCAA Softball Championship in Oklahoma

The tournament for the 2025 NCAA Women’s College World Series started today in Oklahoma City, where eight top softball teams are looking to win the national title. From June 5-6, all matches of the tournament will be broadcast on ESPN and ABC. There were just four games on the first day, and upset wins by several teams changed the way the bracket would look. Texas convincingly beat Florida 3-0, while Oklahoma outlasted Tennessee by a score of 4-3. Texas Tech claimed a one-goal victory over Ole Miss, and UCLA came out ahead 4-2 against Oregon.

The double-elimination process will proceed as elimination games are set for Friday, May 30. Florida plays Tennessee at 7 p.m. on ESPN. Later, Ole Miss goes up against Oregon at 9:30 p.m., both games on Saturday. The first game in the winners’ bracket happens when Oklahoma meets Texas at 3 p.m. on ABC, and the next game features Texas Tech vs. UCLA at 7 p.m. on ESPN. Championship finals start on Wednesday and Thursday, June 4-5, and a possible deciding game will be held on Friday if needed. After starting with mid-May regional competitions, the tournament now finishes with the 64-team field.
