2025 WCWS Format Explained

As with its men's baseball counterpart, the Women's College World Series is a double-elimination event. That means teams are eliminated after losing two games in the main draw. The eight-team field is split into two double-elimination brackets, and the winners of the two brackets meet in the best of-three finals.

Teams retain their seeding from the main, 64-team NCAA tournament draw. Before the NCAA tournament, 16 teams are assigned national seeds and host four-team regionals; the 16 regional champions then play each other in super regionals. Seven of the eight Women's College World Series teams are national seeds.

First Round Matchups and Dates

All four first-round matchups will be played Thursday in succession in Oklahoma City.

The first will feature No. 6 Texas and No. 3 Florida in an all-SEC matchup. This is the second straight year these two teams have met in the Women's College World Series; the Longhorns shut out the Gators 10–0 in five innings in the second round of last year's event. No. 7 Tennessee and the No. 2 Sooners will come next; Oklahoma swept the Volunteers in the event's finals in 2013.

Ole Miss—the event's only unseeded team—and No. 12 Texas Tech will lead off the evening action; this is the first time the Red Raiders have ever advanced past the regional round. Big Ten foes No. 16 Oregon and No. 9 UCLA will cap off the night with the team's second World Series meeting. The Bruins won the first 7–1 in 2015.
