2026 NCAA Softball Tournament bracket, schedule revealed

With conference tournaments in the books, the 2026 NCAA Softball Tournament bracket is set to be revealed. On Sunday night, the selections were announced.

There were a number of automatic qualifiers that already knew their fate heading into Selection Sunday. Those that won conference tournaments had no ambiguity; they were in the field.

But for others, a spot in the NCAA Softball Tournament was not a guarantee. So there was some tension and intrigue when the announcements were made.
